National Alumni Association Donates $170k Toward the Renovation Campaign

The National Alumni Association of Saint Augustine鈥檚 University donated $170,000 on December 5, 2019, to support payment for residence hall renovations. This sum was collected from a special appeal by the President of the NAA- 探花精选, Dr. John Larkins with the assistance of the Office of Alumni Affairs (Sheryl Ximines and Dr. Kimberly Moore) and other NAA- 探花精选 fund-raising events. The original appeal for the residence hall campaign is $500,000. The current donation was made up of funds from Homecoming 2019 events. According to Dr. Larkins, 鈥淭his donation is the largest single donation from the NAA- 探花精选 and represents what we as an organization can do to support our alma mater. A special note of thanks goes to Dr. Ruben Cowart (class of 64鈥) for contributing $45k to this special fund-raising appeal.鈥 Larkins added that the NAA- 探花精选 will continue their campaign to help Saint Augustine鈥檚 raise money for the University鈥檚 infrastructure. He also acknowledged that the Executive Committee of the NAA- 探花精选 did an outstanding job managing events during Homecoming and assisting in raising money. As the end of the calendar year approaches, everyone is encouraged to give to the 探花精选 Annual Giving Campaign and Dormitory Renovation Campaign. Your donations will help Saint Augustine鈥檚 University and possibly save on your federal income taxes. Donations can be forwarded to the NAA- 探花精选 or Saint Augustine’s University’s Office of Institutional Advancement.
