Thank you for helping us meet our goal!

October 31, 2023

We met our goal early, thanks to you and our matching gift from the Mayerson Student Philanthropy Project! With the funds you have donated to our project, our class will be able to help the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center and the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum achieve their missions of sharing diverse Appalachian stories.

Our class still has 12 days left to fundraise for these museums – and we don’t plan to stop just because we met our goal! We set a push goal to reach $3,000 so we can have an even larger impact.

Please help us reach our push goal by spreading the word about our project. THANK YOU!
