A friend of Berea with deep roots in Kentucky was inspired by today's Giving Day energy and stepped up with a last-minute $10,000 matching gift. She asked that we use this moment to lift up the words of bell hooks, who believed that education can be a practice of freedom, and that love must be at the center of how we build our communities. That's Berea. That's what your gift supports. Give now and your impact is doubled.

Dr. Marcus Patton ’65 is launching Giving Day by matching the first $50,000 in online gifts dollar for dollar. A proud Berea alumnus from deep Appalachia in Hindman, Kentucky, Dr. Patton believes deeply in the promise of access and opportunity that defines the College. His own journey reflects the transformative power of a Berea education, particularly for students from Appalachian communities. Today, that lifelong belief is being turned into meaningful action, creating new opportunities and opening doors for the next generation of students. Every gift you make this morning goes twice as far toward our goal of $150,000 to complete 40 Tuition Promise Scholarships.

Use social media to spread the word about the mission of Berea College to help us complete 40 scholarships for deserving Berea students on Giving Day, April 9. Here is how you can make an impact:
