A good day's work

Emory University celebrated its second “All in a Day: 24 Hours of Change” on February 7‑8. The 24-hour online fund-raising challenge is a nonstop day of efforts by Emory schools, centers, departments, and programs to recruit donors to match challenges and unlock bonuses.

Brooks Lyddan, associate director of development, led the fund-raising effort for Rollins, which netted 342 gifts totaling $47,747, according to a preliminary tally. Rollins won four of the school-based challenges and power hours, tying for the most of any school or unit. In addition, 105 gifts totaling $8,755 were made to the Center for AIDS Research.
