3.  The Colgate University Division I women’s
basketball team, the Colgate Raiders,
recently surpassed a fundraising goal of
$50,000 that had been posed by an
anonymous alumnus. The alumnus vowed
to match donations on a $2 to $1 basis if
the team could successfully complete the
challenge. Held over the course of the 2013
and 2014 season, the campaign yielded
125 gifts to the team totaling nearly $69,000.

the school’s current director of athletics,
expressed gratitude to both the donors
and the women’s basketball program.
Ms. Chun noted that the fact that the
Raiders were able not only to meet but
to exceed the $50,000 challenge is a
symbol of the commitment of Colgate’s
family and friends.
