Kenyon Together Outreach

Before We Begin, Remember:

• Always include #KenyonTogether alongside your social media posts.
• Posts with images, videos, emoji and other multimedia typically attract more attention than text-only. Have fun! 💯
• Feel free to add other hashtags (i.e. #philanthropymatters) if you’d like.
• Share your unique advocate link via the sharing buttons on the campaign page!
• If you choose to create a match or a challenge, be sure to share and promote it throughout the day.

Dear [NAME],

By now you may have heard about Kenyon Together 2025, the 36-hour online giving challenge that supports all things Kenyon–including [THING YOU LOVE ABOUT KENYON]. And, for the first time, the Kenyon Athletics Giving Challenge is part of our Spring giving day. Our goal is to raise gifts of any size from 1,000 or more donors before the challenge ends on Wednesday, April 9 at 9 p.m.

I encourage you to check out the site, which includes lots of fun videos and information about how your gift can be doubled (or more) with over $200,000 in matching and challenge funds!

Give now at [INSERT THE PERSONAL LINK YOU RECEIVED WHEN YOU SIGNED UP AS AN ADVOCATE AND/OR MADE YOUR GIFT OR kenyon.edu/together].

After you make your gift, the website will provide links and tools to help spread the word about the Challenge as an “advocate.” Just a quick post on Facebook or Instagram can help us make a much larger impact, so please share broadly.

It takes all of us, together, to make it Kenyon. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
