Over $5,000 raised at LTM to support the Education Foundation
Thanks to a challenge issued by Teri Bump of American Campus Communities, NACAS leaders donated over $5,000 to support the NACAS Education Foundation at the annual Leadership Team Meeting (LTM) in February. By the end of the meeting, all members in attendance had made a contribution to the foundation. The foundation board would like to thank Teri and the members of the leadership team, and challenges all NACAS members to follow their lead by making a tax-deductible contribution to the NACAS Education Foundation.

Fundraising Update: The Flip-a-Coin
Everyone who has attended a NACAS Annual Conference and/or a NACAS Regional Conference within the past few years is most likely familiar with the NACAS Education Foundation Flip-a-Coin fundraiser. This year, at the NACAS South Regional Conference, the goal was to raise more money at the Flip-a-Coin than was raised at the 2015 conference. Guess what? It happened. At the 2015 NACAS South Annual Conference $1,620 was raised and this year the total was $2,420. Thanks to Barnes & Noble @ Georgia Tech for donating an iPad Air 2 for the contest. Congratulations to this year’s winner David Amorine.

Are you attending the NACAS Central/West Regional Conference or the NACAS East Regional Conference? Make sure you purchase your beads! Last year, NACAS members and business partners contributed nearly $6,000 at the regional conferences through the flip-a-coin fundraiser. Together, let’s see if we can exceed last year’s total! Many thanks, in advance, for your participation and support of the foundation.
