Dear Colleagues, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Friday! In case we\u2019ve not met, my\nname is Correan Barker and I work in Advancement as the Associate Director of\nEvents, Alumni and Donor Relations. Each year Advancement and the Foundation\nhosts a gala called the Art of Giving to raise funds for the Evergreen Scholarship\nFund which creates transformational scholarships for our students. In lieu\nof gathering in person this year, on March 15 The Evergreen State College\nFoundation launched an ambitious, six-week Art of Giving Scholarship Drive to\nraise $200,000 benefiting the Evergreen Scholarship Fund. So far with the help of alumni, donors and\nfriends we’ve raised $189,016! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite you to join us for a free virtual Art of Giving event on Saturday, April\n24, 2021, from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. (PDT) celebrating our remarkable\nstudents and the conclusion of the scholarship drive. <\/strong>You\ncanregister\nfor the event online<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and\nwe encourage sharing this opportunity with your colleagues and\nfriends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
