We just wanted to say...
On behalf of the entire Smith Renaissance Society, we would like to convey a heartfelt THANK YOU!! Because of your generosity, we are now able to fully fund three academic scholarships in perpetuity. We could not have done this without your support.
We want you to know that from this day forward you have an open invitation to be a part of our community. We are grateful for your treasure, but your time and talent is invaluable. Thank you again for all that you’ve done. If you would like to know more about becoming a mentor or volunteer, please contact us at smithsoc@ucsc.edu.
Two more days!!
Together, in 28 short days we have managed to secure almost all of our $37,500 in matching funds! We are only $695 away from securing 3 scholarships in perpetuity. Together we will change the lives of three students every single year as this community continues to grow. If you know anyone else who would be able to contribute to the project, please share so we can support as many students as possible! Thank you! #ucscsmithsoc
Thank You!
I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I witness the generosity being offered to our Smith community here today. It is remarkable to consider that only half way into our campaign we have funded 222% of our initial goal. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support. It is only because of your willingness to give to others that our community continues to thrive. Thank you so much.
