Campbell University celebrated the generous donors who made its ambitious five-year, $105 million Campbell Leads campaign a reality with a black tie Gala Friday night in a giant tent under the stars in the Academic Circle.
The event did more than honor those who give and the fruits of their generosity — it served as the first large public showcase of the Oscar N. Harris Student Union after two years of a pandemic that limited its potential. Roughly 250 people — among them some of the University’s most ardent supporters — enjoyed live music, a catered meal, a showcase of student achievements and testimonials from both donors and those who have benefited from scholarships made possible by the campaign.
“We are here tonight to celebrate the spirit of Campbell University,” said Britt Davis, vice president for advancement who guided the campaign’s fundraising efforts; “a spirit of generosity, a spirit of friends, a spirit doing good unto others, a spirit of innovation and a spirit of innovation.”
