Spring for Success 2019 Recap
Delta State University conducted a successful one-day fundraising event on March 20, 2019, to support three important campus causes: replacing the Statesman mascot suit, bulletproof vests for university police officers, and equipment for a Virtual Dementia® Tour. This video follows the money given to the microgrants and highlights the impact of the projects upon their completion.

DSU’s Spring for Success March 20, 2019, Online Giving Day
Almost two-dozen Delta State students, faculty, and staff submitted proposals for projects that needed funding and would benefit campus. Three were chosen for sponsorship. Each project was tasked with raising $2,500 within 24 hours on March 20, 2019. If they did so, Delta State University’s Foundation would match the $2,500. All projects succeeded. (Additional money raised went to the General Scholarship Fund.) Plus, the team that raised the most money received an additional $1,000—for a grand total of $6,000—in this case, to replace the Statesman mascot suit. See below for details.
