Marist College Dresses-Down for PITCHED Initiative
At the annual conference at Manhattanville the Development Committee announced an exciting new initiative called PITCHED (Promoting Ideas to Cultivate Higher Education Donations). This new initiative was unanimously supported by the NYSACAC Executive Board and has inspired members across the state of New York to develop fund-raising ideas in support of the PITCHED initiative.
Marist College is the first institution to report a successful event they dubbed “dress-down days.” The Marist admission team allotted 15 days of which they were allowed to dress-down for $4 per day, $15 per week, or $30 for the entire time. At end of the 15th day the Marist admission team raised $200. The entire proceeds of this fund-raising event will support the NYSACAC Fund for the 21st Century and endowment.
Congratulations to the Marist team! We look forward to reporting more of these stories in the future.
