Homecoming 2009’s Young Alumni Giving luncheon raised a total of $10,000 for the FAMU Foundation.
During the event Reach Media CEO Oscar Joyner, a member of the FAMU Foundation’s Board of Directors, talked about his efforts to help the university make its donation processes more convenient and technologically sophisticated.
He emphasized that old-time methods like “snail mail” don’t engage FAMU’s young alumni. Ever since he joined the foundation board, Joyner has encouraged the university to explore fundraising options that utilize the latest communication devices – including online communication networks and cell phones.
Joyner said that FAMU’s administration is getting the message, as shown by the recent Mobile Giving Campaign. He then asked everyone in the audience to take out their phones on the spot and immediately make a $5.00 (or more) donation to the foundation.
The YAG luncheon also received sponsorship from Ajax Building Corporation, the company that built the first phase of FAMU’s Recreation Center and currently holds the contract for remodeling Tucker Hall.

Awesome. I appreciate your contribution. Although the crabs on here would rather be informed of scandal related to Homecoming activities.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your contributions. More to come...
ReplyDeleteJust curious...
Is this in pledges or in actual dollars? Were others outside of the luncheon encouraged too?
