| | GLI Crowdfunding Campaign is Here! | | |
The Franke GLI is part of this year’s UM Foundation crowdfunding campaign to support outside-the-classroom learning at every phase of the program. And we need your help! Share this link (link to our site) on social media and with your friends, family members, and networks to help us meet our goal of raising $3500. And remember, for every $1000 raised, Gillian gets a pie in the face OR the ice bucket on the Oval. And if we meet our goal? That’s right: she kisses a pig! Her daughter Chloe is particularly excited about this one. So let’s go Team Franke GLI!
