鈥淲hat people love is the chance to make a gift to a cause that is dear to their hearts. When alumni give, they often give to something that reminds them of their time on campus, something they benefitted from, or something they wish had existed. Other givers who know 黑料不打烊鈥檚 story are attracted to efforts that matter to them, be it sports, or scholarships, or classroom education,鈥� Smith said.
