On March 19, more than 150 members of the Ford School community came together to raise a record-setting $53,000 for student support as part of U-M’s annual Giving Blueday celebration.
The incredible support unlocked a generous $25,000 challenge and matching gift from Ford School alum Scott Sinder (MPP ‘87) and his wife Jodie Kelley. Faculty and staff also continued their tradition of strong support, earning a $1,000 bonus from the university in recognition of their commitment.
“We are grateful for everyone who donated to the Ford School this Giving Blueday,” said Chief Development Officer Kellen Epstein. "Our community’s continued support for Ford School students shows the care for the school's mission, and for each other.”
