“Harding is all about community,” Bobo said. “Harding is a family, and we wanted to encourage everyone in our family to gather to give, whether it be a student on campus or someone far away giving online.”
The “Gather to Give” event began at 12 a.m. and ended at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 1. The money was donated through online gifts, phone calls with credit cards, cash and checks.
“I love Harding,” Bobo said. “Harding changed me and has given me many opportunities for my future and to build lifelong relationships with people. Many people can’t come to Harding unless they have a scholarship, and I want to help other students have a wonderful Harding experience just like I did.”
