Staff Report
PARKERSBURG Despite the pandemic, the Marshall University Mid-Ohio Valley Alumni Chapter has made a $30,000 gift to the Marshall University Foundation.
The chapter has supported the university through scholarships and gifts to the Big Green Foundation for numerous years. Creative chapter members found ways to raise support during the pandemic.
Having already received funds for its annual scholarship fundraising dinner, the chapter requested businesses, organizations and individuals who had contributed to the spring event allow the chapter to apply those dollars to its scholarships. Less than $1,000 of the $15,600 raised was all that was returned.
