Central College raised more than six-figures through Giving Tuesday donations on Nov. 29. The special day of giving to nonprofits across the globe generated $126,437 for Central scholarships and programs, exceeding last year’s amount of $104,000.

“There are a lot of worthy nonprofits who need prayers and financial support not only on Giving Tuesday but also throughout the year,” says Sunny Gonzales Eighmy, vice president for advancement and a 1999 Central graduate. “We are certainly grateful to our generous donors who stepped up for Central on this global day of giving and to all who keep Central in mind every year.”
