On Thursday, April 23, 2020, the 91ֱ�� College community rallied to celebrate what is truly good and beautiful about 91ֱ��. </p> <p>In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, 91ֱ�� College & Conservatory hosted All in for 91ֱ�� (AIFO), its fourth giving day. The priority of the campaign was to celebrate the 91ֱ�� College & Conservatory community, strengthen connections, and inspire donor engagement and participation, while simultaneously generating revenue vital to general operations, scholarship funding, and support for key areas of campus. </p> <p>Despite the pandemic, Obies from around the globe joined together to pay tribute to the collective power of philanthropy. Nearly 2,000 students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends donated more than $932,000, our largest fundraising total in 91ֱ��'s giving day history. John Charles ’87 shared, “Being involved in All In reminded me how important 91ֱ�� the school and 91ֱ�� the people are to me. The more I give to 91ֱ��, the more I get back in a stronger bond to the place.” </p> <p>Philanthropy is essential to the sustainability of the institution and the transformational experience of an 91ֱ�� education. Marwan Ghanem ’22 stated, “Not only does AIFO support students financially, but it also upgrades the 91ֱ�� educational and living experience. It boosts extracurricular and wellness activities to cultivate world-class Obie generations who are ready to rock the career market.”</p> <p>The college would like to thank all donors for their generosity on 91ֱ��’s fourth annual giving day and every day. Michael Grzesiak, VP of Advancement said, “We are grateful for your support and energy, which serves to strengthen our institution.”</p> <hr> <p>Note: If you missed All in for 91ֱ�� this year, you can still make a lasting impact by making your gift at <a href="http://advance.oberlin.edu/donate">advance.oberlin.edu/donate</a> now or before June 30. </p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2020-05-13T12:00:00Z">Wed, 05/13/2020 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Communications Staff</div> <div class="text-content field field--name-field-intro-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Alumni, et al. come together in support of students.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2368">Alumni</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2974">Conservatory Alumni</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2597">Faculty and Staff</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2410">Students</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=3346">Advancement</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> </main></body></html>
