“Giving day is a day at NEC where students, alumni’s, faculty staff, parents and friends can make a donation to help NEC,” Anna Twombly said.
The money goes to any organization or club of your choice or the school to help funds all around the campus that is the purpose of giving day.
“It can go to any area like student scholarships, athletics,” Twombly Said.
Athletic teams are encouraged to make phone calls. Men’s Baseball, Lacrosse, soccer and hockey teams as well as women’s field hockey and volleyball attended the event to make phone calls for their team.
“Field Hockey raised about $300 over the phone and that doesn’t include online,” Junior Field Hockey player Emma LaPierre said.
“The past years we have raised just over $100,000, this year our goal is the amount of donors. So, we are hoping for 400 donors, and we are just half way there,” she said at 2:30 p.m.
At the end of giving day, we had a total of 391 donors which helped raised a total amount of $103,194 dollars.
