Thank you, Niner Nation!
Dear Niner Nation,
Thank you! Your support of the Niners Care: Hurricane Relief Fund has been overwhelming.
We are continuing to tally the contributions from Saturday’s football game, but I’m pleased to share that, because of your kindness, we fulfilled the generous $50,000 matching gift from Head Football Coach Biff Poggi and Assistant Head Football Coach Jon Jacobson in less than a week.
The devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina is profound, leaving many communities grappling with significant challenges. Your contributions will directly aid our sister institutions in supporting their students and employees with their greatest needs, whether that means replacing destroyed laptops and books or providing essential food and water. While we know that no amount of support can undo the damage from this storm, your gifts will help those affected begin to move forward.
If you have not yet had a chance to donate and wish to do so, there is still time.
You may have heard me say before that Niner Nation extends far beyond the borders of our campus and city. This initiative has again illustrated that, as alumni and friends from across the country have joined us to stand with the Bulldogs, Mountaineers and Catamounts.
Thank you for showing others why Niners and our community are so remarkable.
Sincerely,
Sharon L. Gaber
Chancellor
