Hoo-Rah! Day 2023

Each time we reach 80 donors, we’ll unlock $10,000 for the Journey Scholarship. Just by participating, you’ll help unlock up to $50,000 for the Journey Scholarship Fund! Show us your Dutch spirit by sharing this page with your Central friends! This challenge is sponsored by: Don '70 & Jan Dykstra Logan '69, Bev De Cook Brand '67, Jim '10H & Eunice Vander Zyl Van Tuyl '68, John '87 & Julie Pothoven Fisher '90, Jeff Oliver '79, Tom De Vries '73, Andrea Joyce Kuslits & Harry Smith '73 and anonymous donors.

When 150 Iowa residents participate in Hoo-Rah Day with a gift of ANY size, $20,000 will be unlocked for the Journey Scholarship Fund! Generously sponsored by: Milly & Hank Vande Kieft '53, Joe '99 & Kerry Maynard Vande Kieft '99, Wendy & Nick Richtsmeier '01 and Marlena Wichhart.

Was your gift inspired by an outstanding faculty member (past or present) who nurtured or expanded your personal learning at Central? Alumni provide a wealth of "gee wiz" stories of one or more professors that defined their Central experience by their personal dedication and extraordinary acts of kindness. Faculty are one of Central's great resources and embody the spirit of the College. To honor these individuals, when 25 gifts are made in honor of a faculty member, a special, generous donation will be unlocked! This added donation is sponsored by Mary Worstell ’73, in appreciation of her wonderful Central College professors, on campus and abroad, some with whom she has enjoyed lifelong friendships.
