You’ve heard the saying, “if everyone lit just one little candle. …” Well, we’re looking for a lot of you to light that little candle and give just a little (or more!) to earn a significant amount. Bruce LeVine Mellion ’69 has generously offered to contribute $5,000 to support of scholarships and financial aid, if at least 742 recent grads make a gift during the month of March.

Why 742? Bruce realizes that hundreds of small gifts can be just as important as a few big ones. He started giving small donations in 1969 and gradually increased his gifts as his ability to give grew. He set the bar at 742 because that’s more recent graduate donors than we’ve ever had before.

Do your part and become one of that elite 742 by making a donation of any size to Keene State. Your gift will help us reach Bruce’s goal and, since it will go to scholarships and financial aid for needy students, it will make a big difference in some student’s life.
