Phonathon generates $154k for campus support
Chadron State College on Thursday celebrated the conclusion of its annual Phonathon fund-raising effort with a party in the Student Center.
Thirty-eight CSC students called alumni and other members of the CSC community during three weeks in February to raise $154,342.41, which is more than $27,000 over last year’s total at the conclusion of the calling period. The money will be used by the Chadron State Foundation to provide campus support.
Special recognition was given to callers who raised the most money and have been with the program for multiple years. Sara Pilakowski of Genoa, a junior studying to be a dentist, was the top fund-raiser, while Joslynne Simpson, a senior who graduated from Alliance High School in 2004, has participated in the program four years.
The total amount is expected to grow as those who didn’t answer phone calls will be given an opportunity to donate by mail.
