Strength in Numbers On Giving Day 2020, the Rollins community came together to show the world the extraordinary difference a day makes. On February 20, more than 2,000 members of the Rollins community seized a moment in time. Your gifts on Giving Day 2020 made a difference that will last far longer than 24 hours and extend far beyond the confines of America’s most beautiful campus. One donor gave on the phone in between meetings. Another hand-delivered an ear-marked check weeks in advance. Collectively, Giving Day donors made a resounding statement: We are brighter together. For one day, we celebrated everything that makes Rollins the best liberal arts college in the South—from academic and athletic excellence to unmatched opportunities for hands-on learning. A record-breaking 2,047 Rollins alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends came together to raise nearly $280,000 for our students.
