SOU's 'Count Me In' campaign raises $210,000 By Daily Tidings staff report DailyTidings.com By Daily Tidings staff report Posted Oct. 24, 2014 @ 6:48 pm By Daily Tidings staff report Posted Oct. 24, 2014 @ 6:48 pm » RELATED CONTENT • Foundation kicks off ambitious 'Count Me In' fundraising ... • DeBoer donations a boon for SOU » Social News The Southern Oregon University Foundation ’s "Count Me In" campaig n for student scholarships raised a little more than $210,000 for the SOU Scholarship. More than 400 alumni, faculty, staff, students and community members participated in the 100-hour campaign, whose goal was to amass 500 donations in 100 hours last week. The campaign began at 8 p.m. Oct. 16 and ended at midnight Sunday. “The Count Me In campaign really brought the community together in support of SOU students,” said Eric Baird, executive director of the SOU Foundation. “Community partners Radio Medford, Jefferson Public Radio, KOBI 5, the SOU Digital Media Center, and Southwick Specialty Advertising helped the campaign become a reality.” The SOU Scholarship is awarded to students based on financial need with preference given to those who are first in their families to attend college. It is designed to help students bridge the funding gap between other forms of financial aid and the cost of attending Southern Oregon University. “Thanks to the inspirational gifts from Jed and Celia Meese, Lithia Motors, an anonymous donor and the rest of the more than 400 individuals who contributed, we collectively raised scholarship funds that will inspire and change the lives of many students,” Baird said. “We are very thankful for the support and look forward to awarding the SOU Scholarship.”     By Daily Tidings staff report DailyTidings.com By Daily Tidings staff report Posted Oct. 24, 2014 @ 6:48 pm » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with DailyTidings.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Alerts Email alerts RSS feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed Email newsletter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
