Hoo-Rah Day 2024
July 12, 2024
The eighth annual Hoo-Rah Day brought the Central College family together, providing an opportunity to showcase passion for our community, dedication to lifelong learning and desire to uplift the next generation.
Central raised more than $398,000 on Wednesday, April 10, with over 430 donors supporting student scholarships and programs.
Alumni, current and past parents, employees and current students contributed to the success of the day, with support for Central shared worldwide. Gifts came from 34 states and the District of Columbia, and the farthest gifts were from Italy and Malaysia. Central spirit took social media by storm! Central’s content reached more than 78K accounts and garnered over 85K impressions. The Class Participation Challenge was won by the Class of 2026 — what an incredible show of support from current students!
This year, a new challenge was launched. Central President Mark Putnam, along with his wife Tammy and Student Body President Jenna Hernandez ’24 challenged current and former Student Senate members to make a gift. The Presidents’ Challenge was an incredible success, and the leadership from these donors unlocked an additional $10,000.
It was another successful year for the 53-Mile Challenge! From Feb. 18 to April 10, nearly 100 Central students, employees, alumni, family and friends completed 53 miles by walking, running, biking or swimming.
Thank you for your support in another incredible Hoo-Rah Day!
