Welcome to the President's Circle!
|
The President's Circle recognizes those who invest in Kentucky Wesleyan College at a level of $1,000 or more for the current fiscal year.
Please welcome our newest members (as of May 31, 2016)!
The launch, one year ago, of the President's Circle was a great success, thanks to many of you. Almost 230 households and organizations gave $1,000 or more during the fiscal year that closed May 31. That number has increased more than 25 percent over the previous year.
We enjoyed celebrating our successes throughout the year with our President's Circle members at exclusive events, which ended on a high note with the inaugural President's Gala on April 22.
If you missed the fun last year, join now, as the new fiscal year began June 1.
