Bobcats! What a DAY.
While we fell slightly shy of our donor goal, the spirit, energy, and enthusiasm for Bates was overwhelming. And we raised a stunning $493,596! Thousands of alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and students demonstrated their passion for this school by making their gift, and each and every one of them made an impact.
Special shout-outs go to Class of 2015 for most gifts overall (96!), and Class of 1991 ($29,500!) for the most dollars raised, President Spencer for those incredible surprise challenges, all the livestream participants, and the hundreds of volunteers and advocates who made calls, sent texts, hosted viewing parties, and put up matches!!!
Thank you for showing us why every day is a Great Day to be Bobcat.
Alright Bobcats!
You've shown an incredible amount of Bates pride today, giving and celebrating with us! Thank you for all you've done to help spread the word about the Great Day to be a Bobcat giving challenge.
Let's finish out strong! Looking at you, night owls!
