Spring Phonathon March 10-April 3, 2008 Thiel College is calling! This month, current Thiel students will be calling alumni and friends of the College for this annual spring phonathon, which benefits the Thiel Annual Fund. This is a great opportunity to speak with current students, find out what's happening on campus and provide tangible support for the College's mission. This year, an anonymous alum has issued a challenge to alumni to make a first-time gift or increase their annual gift. In return, the donor will match all new and increased gifts dollar-for-dollar, up to $25,000. This donor believes that alumni support makes a difference to current and future Thiel College students. Please answer this challenge when you answer the phone—every gift makes a difference! If you would like to give a gift now via our secure online site, click here.
