Great River Tigers Participate in Giving Day

During Mizzou Giving Day April 14-15, Mizzou Alumni Association challenged the local chapters to fund raise for student scholarships. The Association would match dollars up to $2500 dollars.  The money raised would be deposited in the organization’s spendable scholarship account.  Donors logged onto their computers and donated online.  Great River Tigers raised $3100 and with the match added, the amount raised was $5600.  Great River Tigers gives out merit based scholarships in the spring and luck of the draw scholarships at the Student Send Off in July.  A big thank you to everyone that donated.
