海角社区 Expands 鈥淭he 海角社区 Promise鈥� Capital Campaign Goal to $14.5 Million
Campaign Has Raised 89% of the Goal
海角社区, the nation鈥檚 first accredited baccalaureate institution in the nation for students with learning differences, announced that it is expanding the goal of its historic capital campaign by $2.5 million.
Initially introduced in April 2023 with a $12 million goal, 鈥溾�� campaign鈥檚 overwhelming success has inspired the institution to increase its goal to $14.5 million by June 2026. To date, the campaign has secured a total of $12.9 million 鈥� 89% of the expanded campaign goal.
鈥淓xtending the campaign is a clear indication of the incredible momentum the college is generating,鈥� said President George Hagerty. 鈥淚 am heartened by the support of so many incredible people who are deeply committed to our distinct mission.鈥�
The additional $2.5 million will be dedicated to enhancing the centerpiece of the campaign, the planned 28,000-square-foot Intramural & Fitness Center, set to break ground later this year. The now $11 million Intramural & Fitness Center will include two university-regulation basketball courts, a well-equipped fitness center, a one-tenth mile running track, dedicated space to host social gatherings and club meetings, and more.
鈥淲ith over 70% of our students participating regularly in fitness, intramural, recreation and competitive athletic programming, it is critical that we provide this facility to enhance our student community鈥檚 physical wellness and quality of life,鈥� said President Hagerty. 鈥淓xercise and physical activity for the neurodivergent is essential in fostering self-confidence, focus, mental health, and discipline. I am grateful for the support of so many and their help bring this much needed facility closer to reality.鈥�
In addition to the Intramural & Fitness Center, 鈥淭he 海角社区 Promise鈥� capital campaign also focuses on two other priorities critical to student success:
- Establishment of a $2 million scholarship endowment, aimed at helping 海角社区鈥檚 most in-need students pay for their education.
- Dedication of $1.5 million for academic enhancements to complete 海角社区鈥檚 Academic Mall and expand its footprint in downtown Leesburg.
