BGSU launches $120 million centennial fund-raising drive

At a black-tie gala Saturday night, the University announced plans to seek $120 million in private contributions through a nationwide fund-raising campaign.

Called “Building Dreams: The Centennial Campaign for Bowling Green State University,” the campaign will support scholarships, endowed chairs, capital improvements and academic program enhancements.

The 25-member national campaign steering committee is co-chaired by Kermit F. Stroh of Wapakoneta and former Sylvania resident Ronald R. Whitehouse, now of Harbor Springs, Mich. University alumni Robert and Ellen Thompson of Plymouth, Mich., are honorary chairs. Thompson graduated from the University in 1955 and his wife, in 1954.

At the April 30 event, Whitehouse and Stroh announced that $74,223,759 already has been committed toward the $120 million goal.
