Subject: Join Me in Standing Forever True Blue on April 30!

Dear [Name],

Millikin University holds an important place in my heart because of the way it changes lives — not only for students, but for families and the broader community. Witnessing the impact Millikin has on young people as they grow in confidence, skill and purpose is why I have chosen to make a gift in support of this year’s Forever True Blue Challenge on April 30. I hope you’ll consider joining me.

This special giving day celebrates 125 years of Millikin delivering on the promise of excellence in education and focuses on expanding scholarship support for students. Millikin’s distinctive Performance Learning approach provides students with meaningful, hands-on experience that equips them for bold, bright futures. For many students, those opportunities would simply not be possible without scholarships and the generous donors who support them.

Every gift — of any size — helps open doors for students who are ready to learn, lead and serve.Even better, our collective participation unlocks matching funds that will allow us to make an even greater impact. Supporting Millikin is one way that I can invest in the future of our community. I hope you’ll stand Forever True Blue with me on April 30.

With gratitude,
