Dear Parent or Guardian,
This message comes from the heart. My daughter once said, “I have always felt that it is important to give back to the people and organizations that have helped to shape who I am.” Minnesota State Mankato has greatly shaped two of my boys, Nick and Tyler, and will begin shaping my daughter, Kellie, in the fall. I love how Minnesota State has been a ‘right fit’ college. My kids’ majors range from Exercise Science to Mathematics to Communication Disorders and Spanish. Their interests in Jiu Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, Ultimate Frisbee, Math Team, research, internships, Study Abroad and being a Community Advisor are all available to them. At Minnesota State, they can find themselves, growing in their own academic and extracurricular interests.
How has Minnesota State shaped your child? Our goal is to raise $70,000 during this 22nd Annual Parents Drive. Your gift, whether $20 or $2,000, will make a difference in the future of your student and so many others! This year you can even give easily by EFT from your bank checking account. You can choose to support the Memorial Library or any other department on campus. Thank you for your consideration and for helping our children achieve their dreams!
Sincerely,
Denise Metzger
2013 Parents Drive Chair
Parent of Minnesota State Mankato students Nick, Tyler and future student Kellie
A gift to the Parents Drive improves campus life and increases the quality of an education at Minnesota State. You may choose to support your student's program or any other area on campus. Tuition covers only a fraction of each student's education. Gifts to the Parents Drive benefit students by attracting the finest faculty and students, while providing advanced programs that contribute to an education of excellence.
Please consider attending Family Weekend on campus this fall. Visit the Parents and Family website for information.
