Phoenix Athletic's premier fundraising initiative generated more than $644,000 in support of Elon student-athletes.

Elon donors fuel student success this past fiscal year, helping make it one of the university’s most impactful fundraising years to date.

The new fundraising strategy introduced during the 2024–25 academic year led to a 65% increase in operating support, a 52% increase in total cash received and a 34% increase in overall fundraising production.

Elon reflects on the impact made by alumni and families throughout the 2023-24 fiscal year.

President Connie Ledoux Book announced alumni Priscilla Awkard ’95, Christian Wiggins ’03, Maity Interiano ’07 and Jack McMackin ’08 as the new co-chairs of the Elon LEADS Campaign, sending a powerful message about the importance of alumni leading Elon’s future.

Together, the Elon community raised over $3.4 million from 5,609 gifts and unlocked numerous opportunities for Elon students and the community.

Join us today to celebrate Elon Day, the university’s annual day of giving. Make a gift, attend virtual and on-campus events, and show your Elon spirit on social media as we grow opportunities for students.

Mark your calendars: On March 5, the global Elon community is invited to participate in a daylong celebration by making a gift to the university, attending on-campus and regional alumni chapter events, and sharing their Elon pride on social media.

The legendary basketball stars will bring their show to Elon to help celebrate the university's new convocation center. 

T. William "Bill" Morningstar Jr., who served under three Elon presidents as a coach across multiple sports, was honored at the 11th annual Night of the Phoenix.
