ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa.,
Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Elizabethtown College launched the Make A Deposit,
Make A Difference campaign for the second consecutive year
in a row. The College will match 100-percent of all deposits made
by newly accepted students during the month of February to join the
Class of 2025. The College has an overall goal of raising
$15,000. The unique campaign aims to
provide the monetary donation to local non-profits impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic, aligning with the College's motto, Educate to
Service.
"We are led by our College motto of using our knowledge and
talents to serve others," Elizabethtown
College President Cecilia M.
McCormick, J.D. said. "Our tight-knit communities have been
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and now more than ever, our
campus community feels an even larger pull to contribute to others
and improve the wellbeing of our society."
As a result of the campaign, Etown will provide $15,000 to non-profits within the region and
toward the College's initiative to combat food insecurity among
college students. The College will announce the non-profits once
the anticipated goal is met.
"During this unprecedented time in our nation's history, we are
all looking for inspiration," Elizabethtown
College Vice President for Enrollment Management
John F. Champoli said. "Our campaign
was evolved in response to the pandemic and our Etown campus
community's desire to give back to others."
The College's motto Educate for Service was adopted in 1915.
Educate for Service expresses the College campus community's belief
that the pursuit of knowledge is most noble when used to benefit
others.
