KAMLOOPS — The goal was to raise $48,000 in 48 hours to help students pursuing a post-secondary degree at Thompson Rivers’ University (TRU).

When the clock hit zero, 116 donors had helped raise $54,095. The donors could choose to put their donations towards the health care students, the TRU Law Community Legal Clinic, the Williams Lake Campus or other scholarships and financial aid for students..

“The most rewarding thing about organizing this event is to see everyone come together and support TRU and its students,” says Diana Major, director of development, Annual Giving. “The collective support is the difference needed to bring new equipment to nursing and respiratory therapy or to grow the number of bursaries available to Indigenous students. Kamloops is such a giving community, and we are so grateful, and we want to thank everyone so much for their support and generosity.”
