Thank you for an INCREDIBLE campaign!!

June 04, 2024

We are SO grateful and completely amazed at the outpouring of community support for the Maxine Miller Legacy Fund in Gender Studies at the University of Arkansas! With your help, we were able to raise $15,420 and 154of our original goal for this campaign.

Because this tremendous group of donors kept pushing through matching gifts and stretch goals, we have grown this Fund's endowment to help more UA students!

We invite you to follow along as we continue to push to double the fund's endowment to 100K. Please continue to share the link and encourage friends to support this fund to honor Maxine and make a difference for students through the Gender Studies Program!

Thank you again for your generosity. We could not have done this without each and every one of you. Let us know if you’d like to be involved in our future efforts to expand student support at the University of Arkansas in Maxine’s name!

With gratitude,

Hannah Withers, Andrea Foren, and Lisa Corrigan
