Give $50 on Centenary College's Giving Day, get a whimsical Julia Gash bag
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — Centenary College in Shreveport is linking Founders' Day and Giving Day on Feb. 20. Supporters who wish to donate to the college will have their gifts matched, and Centenary will also give gifts back to their supporters.
Donors contributing $25 or more will be given an exclusive print of the original Centenary campus, which was located in Jackson, Louisiana. Those who donate $50 or more during 'Power Hour,' which will occur between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. on Feb. 20, will receive a tote bag designed for Centenary by Julia Gash. Gash is a graphic artist from Britain who has created whimsical illustrations for more than 500 universities and colleges worldwide.
Fred Landry is the Vice President for Development at Centenary College. He said Giving Day is a great opportunity for Centenary alumni and friends to show their support and invest in the college's life.
'They also have options to give to programs or causes at Centenary that have meaning and importance to them, including scholarships, athletic teams, academics, and general support,' said Landry.
Donors giving $200 during 2025 will become members of the 200 club. Their names will be placed on a donor wall in a building on campus. $200 donors may direct their contributions to various funds that support everything from academics, athletics, and building renovations.
An in-person happy hour will be held from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Marilynn's Place in Shreveport. Ten percent of the proceeds will be donated to Centenary.
