CSPDAY 2020 SETS NEW RECORD

CSPday is an annual event in which our entire community rallies to celebrate Concordia St. Paul and raise money for the institution we love. With this spring’s COVID-19 situation, we decided to cancel this year’s event, originally scheduled for March 20, 2020.

Though the event was called off, our generous supporters still showed their love for CSP: More than $80,000 was raised towards our original $100,000 goal. This sets a new high for CSPday, with a $30,000 increase over last-year’s record-breaking total. A huge thank you to all who supported CSPday 2020. We cannot wait to see how big of an impact we can make together on CSPday 2021!

BARNABAS FUND RESURRECTED FOR EMERGENCY AID

In an effort to provide additional support to students amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Concordia St. Paul reinstated the Barnabas Fund to help students persist to graduation without interruption.

From the funds received, grants of $500 were awarded to students at risk of suspending their education due to increased financial concerns. With more than $26,000 raised, we were able to help many students through this challenging time, including Sarah and Barbara, who shared the following statements of gratitude to the gracious donors who supported the fund:

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. COVID-19 been very difficult for me and I know for others in the world. I live in a rural area in Mississippi not only COVID-19 has affected our state but we also had a bad storm to come through this spring. We had major damages across the state along with the city I live in. Some were without power, trees are down and houses are destroyed. But I am yet grateful for life and I know God is still in control. Again, thank you so much for the additional grant it definitely means a lot. – Barbara McNutt, BA‘20

Thank you so much for your support. This grant was a huge relief to me. I only have a couple classes left and I am running out of aid. I am not working because of the COVID-19 currently. I have a 5-year-old little boy who I care for alone. This grant took a ton of pressure off me and I am very grateful. You are truly changing lives. God Bless You!
