AASU to Hold 3 Days for AASU Campaign April 4-6Savannah, GA - March 22, 2006 - Community volunteers will visit businesses throughout Savannah from April 4-6 to obtain financial support for Armstrong Atlantic State University's annual campaign, 3 Days for AASU. Savannahians can actively improve the university and their community by saying "yes" to these volunteers. This is only the third year of this specialized fund-raising campaign focused on business support. Last year's campaign met its goal by raising just over $150,000. This year's fund-raising target will be presented to the campaign's volunteers at a kickoff luncheon April 3. Leading this year's campaign are Vernice Rackett, membership director of Savannah Quarters Country Club and co-chair of last year's successful campaign, and Padgett Mixon, vice president of Wachovia Wealth Management as co-chair. A kickoff luncheon will be held at 1 p.m. on April 3, the day before the campaign begins, in the AASU dining hall, with Hilb, Rogal and Hobbs (HRH) insurance as luncheon sponsor. Savannah businessman Cliff McCurry will be the keynote speaker. McCurry is a member of the Armstrong Atlantic State University Foundation Board of Trustees and a devoted supporter of the university, for which he established the Nick Mamalakis Emerging Leader Scholarship. Organizers of the campaign will thank the volunteers involved and reveal the outcome at 11 a.m. on April 7 in the lobby of Burnett Hall, the university's administrative building. Savannah Quarters Country Club will sponsor this event. Armstrong Atlantic offers more than 200 scholarships that benefit a wide range of high-achieving students. Armstrong Atlantic received high marks for being an academically challenging and supportive campus, according to The 2005 National Survey of Student Engagement (co-sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Pew Forum on Undergraduate Learning). It is significant to the region that 45 percent of AASU students are from the Savannah-Chatham County area. For more information about 3 Days for AASU, contact Gail Rountree at 912.927.5208. |
