Thanks to you, our Campus Cares campaign to raise money for students in need has exceeded its goal.

But we’re not stopping – and neither should you. We’re writing today to ask you to spread the word about the Stanislaus State Campus Cares Student Emergency Fund and how it helps Stan State students who face emergency situations stay in school.

As a reminder, due to the recent catastrophic fires that affected our friends at Sonoma State, half of the funds raised through Dec. 31 will go to the Sonoma State Fire Victims Fund. The idea is to improve the lives of students throughout our extended CSU community.

Our online fundraising effort will continue through Nov. 16. Share the news by copying and sending the email below and by posting on Facebook or Twitter today.

Sample email for friends and family: 

Dear (recipient's name),

I'm supporting the Stanislaus State Campus Cares Student Emergency Fund, a program that helps Stan State students who face emergency situations stay in school. 

I've already made a donation, and I'm hoping you'll consider doing the same. The fund is designed to help students who encounter temporary hardships due to emergency situations. This critical assistance aims to keep students in school, working in concert with the campus emergency food pantry. Give today at Stanislaus State Campus Cares Student Emergency Fund.

Please let me know if you have any questions about this important campaign. Thank you in advance for your support. 

We’d like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to supporters of the Stan State Campus Cares Student Emergency Fund. Thanks to you, we exceeded our goal to raise $2,500 for students facing hardships – and we did it in less than 24 hours!

An extra-special thanks to our University Police Department for their generous gift of $2,000. Our fundraising effort will continue through Nov. 15 so we can help more students tackle unexpected challenges and stay in school.
