LOL! So I ran across this article explaining that peer to peer fundraising is NOT just for Healthcare organization and how this university (Elon) is currently using peer to peer networking to raise money for the university targeting the younger alumni. A video was send to a database of students that had graduated as far back as 11 years ago! Although the making this video was full of jokes and is a little cheesy.... IT WORKED! The percentage went up by 50% in less than four weeks. I really think that UNC-Charlotte should do something like this so that the money that we need would come from the alumni, instead of increasing our TUTION! lol Here is the video.... too funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmB-14st69w

That was actually quite entertaining. If it worked for Elon it might work for us. It's often hard to get younger alumni to donate back to the school, but this ad really makes it a simple message to convey to the younger generation.
