 YEAR-END GIVING CAMPAIGN

YEAR-END GIVING CAMPAIGN

2024 Year-End Giving Campaign_Progress Update_9am_900x500_2024.12.10

Our Scholars and dearest supporters joined the rest of the world by participating in Giving Tuesday, an annual day of charitable giving that celebrates generosity, raises awareness, and creates engagement between citizens and nonprofits everywhere.

Together, they gave $17,000 to the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, lifting us to 85% of our goal of $20,000 – the equivalent of a Coca-Cola Scholars Program scholarship.

If we raised $17,000 within one day, imagine what we can do together before the end of the year!

From now through December 31st, we will continue the spirit of giving with our Refresh the Gift Year-End Campaign. In honor of the founding gift that former Coca-Cola Bottling UNITED President and CEO, Crawford T. Johnson III, and former Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, Roberto C. Goizueta, announced on May 8, 1986 to create the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, we ask you to consider making a one-time gift or even starting a recurring gift that will help us achieve our goal as well as support the wraparound services, programs, and initiatives provided to Coke Scholars.

In the same way you choose to refresh the world every day, choose to refresh the gift that was given all those years ago so we could be where we are today.

Your donation can make the difference in the lives of over 6,900 Scholars to date with countless more lives to be changed for many more years to come.
