More than 700 young alumni have made gifts to the university and participated in the final IGNITE Challenge, which ends on March 31. Here's a sampling of what they said after making their gifts.

The goal? To surpass last year’s record-setting 60 percent participation by Elon employees.

More than 28,000 faculty and staff, alumni, parents and friends participated in Ever Elon: The Campaign for the Future of Our University, which concluded on Dec. 31, 2011, and raised $107.3 million to support the people, programs and facilities at our university.

Elon concludes the largest fundraising campaign in its history by celebrating the thousands of people who have invested in the university's future.

As the largest fundraising campaign in Elon history surpasses the $100 million mark, those who give, and those who benefit, share their stories.

The New Leaf Society, of Burlington, N.C., has made a gift-in-kind to the Ever Elon Campaign to support the university’s new master of physician assistant studies program. The gift will support landscaping and other work associated with renovations of the Gerald L. Francis Center, which will house the PA and physical therapy programs on Elon’s main campus.
