More than $70,000 raised to support students and community
College of the Rockies second-annual Giving Tuesday campaign received overwhelming community support, raising $70,150 for three featured initiatives and the creation of a new scholarship for Adventure Tourism Business Operations students.
“We are blown away by the response we received from the people and businesses in our region,” said Graham Knipfel, Director, Donor and Alumni Engagement. “This has been a challenging year for many and to have this year’s campaign do so well is a testament to the generosity and community-driven spirit of people in our area.”
This year’s Giving Tuesday campaign focused on three priority initiatives: the College of the Rockies Cranbrook Community Forest trail enhancement project, the Dean’s Equipment Fund for Environmental Science, and the Engineers Canada Indigenous Access to Engineering Bursary.
