Elizabethtown College exceeded its goal in its\u00a0Make A Deposit, Make A Difference<\/strong><\/em> campaign by raising $5,000. The College matched those donations and announced it would double its match totaling $10,000 to provide local \"\"<\/a>non-profits affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cElizabethtown College is an engaging campus community committed to helping others as our College motto Educate for Service leads us to do so,\u201d Elizabethtown College President Cecilia M. McCormick, J.D. said. \u201cDuring these uncertain times, our community feels an even larger pull to contribute to the world beyond our campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result of the campaign, Etown will provide $5,000 to both the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank\u2019s Elizabethtown Bear Bags Program and The Etown Ministerium. The donations will help to provide area families with food supplies and resources.<\/p>\n

In an effort to provide monetary donations, the College launched the Make a Deposit, Make a Difference<\/em><\/strong> campaign announcing it would match 100 percent of all deposits made by students between April 4 and 10. During the College\u2019s first-ever\u00a0virtual Accepted Student Day event<\/a> on April 4, the College met and surpassed its goal. The additional $5,000 in the match for the campaign was added in recognition of all the incoming students who committed prior to the campaign going live on April 4 and who were inspired after the launch announcement.<\/p>\n

The College\u2019s motto Educate for Service was adopted in 1915. Educate for Service expresses the College campus community\u2019s belief that the pursuit of knowledge is most noble when used to benefit others.
