Alumni, Faculty, Staff, Parents, Students, and Friends:

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Indiana Academy yesterday on One Ball State Day. The day was a great success thanks to your incredible support! Here are a few highlights:

  • The Academy raised $58,175 from 244 unique donors.
  • The Academy finished 1st among Teachers College departments in donors and dollars raised.
  • The Academy finished 2nd overall on campus in total unique donors, earning $1000 in challenge money.
  • The Academy finished 2nd overall on campus in most donors before 10 AM, earning $1500 in challenge money.
  • The Academy finished 2nd overall on campus in most donors between 8-10 PM, earning $1000 in challenge money.
  • The Academy finished 3rd overall on campus in most money raised between 10 AM–Noon, earning $1000 in challenge money.
  • The Academy finished 3rd overall on campus in most gifts received, earning $1000 in challenge money.
  • The Academy received donations from 32 states and 3 countries.

My favorite part of One Ball State Day was browsing social media and reading through the posts of alumni describing the tremendous impact the Indiana Academy had on their lives!

In a few weeks, we will receive a report detailing which funds received donations. This will guide us in planning how to use these gifts to best support Indiana Academy students. Funds from donations in 2022 were used to reduce room/board fees for students, provide additional financial aid to families, purchase technology/supplies for classrooms, and continue classroom renovations (one classroom is scheduled to be renovated this summer).

None of this is possible without your amazing support. Thank you!
