Join the BAS President's Circle

Dear Wolfpack alumni,

It is almost time again for Homecoming! The last few years of Homecoming have been great with an increased turn out of our Wolfpack alumni. The years prior, you have brought your enthusiasm, classmates and family. This year, we are asking for more than participation.

Our mission says, "Strive to foster opportunities for African American alumni, students, faculty, staff, and university friends to become actively involved in enriching NC State now and in the future."  As an organization that stands strongly behind education, we have decided to provide more scholarships and support the African-American Wolfpack community.

Last year, we provided three scholarships to our students. As a member of BAS, I know we can do even more to help our students achieve success at NC State. We are requesting your tax-deductible donations. There is no set amount. All gifts are appreciated. Your gifts will be utilized to fund much needed scholarships for current undergraduate and graduate African-American students at our alma mater. You may also choose to help us support the Wolfpack community with donations to our general fund.

In 2011, we are introducing the BAS President's Circle. The President's Circle donation is only $100 but invaluable to the students your aid will assist and if you chose, will assist us with programming throughout the year. Your President's Circle gift will also be applied to your Chancellor circle donation. Your consideration and generous contributions to these endeavors are greatly appreciated and can be made online or via mail.
