The 24-hour giving campaign, housed primarily on social media, aims to raise $170,000 this year for the Student Scholarship Fund (SSF), which includes a generous $50,000 match from an anonymous donor. Monies will be raised through donor gifts and dining events leading to the 24-hour giving campaign. The College has partnered with alumni business owners for the third year in a row to raise awareness about the importance of the SSF. Patrons who dine on Thursday, March 16, at Primo’s in Canton, Missouri, LaBinnah Bistro in Hannibal, Missouri, and Tiramisu in Quincy, Illinois, will benefit C-SC students as a portion of sales made that day will be donated to the Student Scholarship Fund.

New this year, customers who purchase a drink from Electric Fountain Brewing Coffee Bar in Quincy or Hebrews XI Coffee (Taylor or Palmyra, Missouri) during March 13-17 will receive a special sticker on their cups. When scanned, they will be invited to make a gift to the Student Scholarship Fund and enter into a drawing for prizes, including gift cards, coffee, and C-SC promotional items.

Over 90% of students at 91ֱ�� receive a student scholarship to offset their tuition, and the college is setting aside 24 hours to raise monies for the student scholarship funds. “We are inviting people to connect during dining and on social media, tell their story, and invest in the next generation of Wildcats,” said Adam Duesterhaus, Vice President for Advancement.

Supporters can learn more about the events and follow along with the C-SC Wildcat stories on the College’s Facebook page at . For more information, contact Adam Duesterhaus, Vice President for Advancement, at aduesterhaus@culver.edu.

91ֱ�� alumni business owners have partnered with the College for the second year in a row to raise awareness among 91ֱ�� alumni and the local community about the importance of the Student Scholarship Fund during this annual fundraising event. A portion of proceeds from orders placed for take-out or dine-in during lunch and dinner on March 17th will be donated to the Student Scholarship Fund at 91ֱ��. The Student Scholarship Fund provides direct financial support to more than 90% of C-SC students who depend on scholarships to help pay for their education. C-SC President Dr. Douglas B. Palmer invites the community to participate in the dining day on March 17th and shared, “This event, part of our 24 Hours of Giving, allows community members to enjoy a meal at a local restaurant while gathering together to provide scholarship support to Culver-Stockton students. We are grateful for the generosity of these alumni-owned restaurant partners who are providing a portion of the proceeds to C-SC and for the Wildcat supporters who will join us for a meal on March 17th.”

Primo’s in Canton, owned by alumni couple Jarrod ’00 and Brenna Leonard ’02 Phillips, and Tiramisu in Quincy, co-owned by Roberto Stellino and alumnus Ilija Cucuk ’03, will be open for lunch and dinner. Hannibal’s LaBinnah Bistro, owned by alumnus Arif Dagin ’10, will be available for dinner. This dining day event offers alumni and community members a unique opportunity to get involved, enjoy a meal together, and support students. Primo’s owner Jarrod Phillips will be participating for the second year in a row and shared, “We are proud to partner with Culver-Stockton to help provide students the same opportunity that Brenna and I were fortunate enough to have.” He added, “Any amount of help we can provide to the College and its students allows us to pay back a tiny bit of what we received during our time on “the Hill.”

The dining day event is one of many activities planned during the 2022 annual giving campaign, which runs from noon on Thursday, March 17th through Friday, March 18, 2022.
