Join colleagues for the Founders Scholarship Gala
Get your tickets for the MSUM Founders Scholarship Gala. This year’s event will be held Friday, February 15, 2013 at 5:30 p.m. in the CMU ballroom. All proceeds go to support MSUM student scholarships. Last year we raised more than $30,000.
In appreciation for your attendance, we are offering each MSUM faculty and staff two discounted tickets at $40 per ticket, which covers the cost of the event (standard ticket price is $75/ticket). Should you wish to pay the full ticket price of $75, your tax-deductible $35 donation will help support the Founders Scholarship. We hope you and a guest will be able to join us. For discount tickets, please register by calling the Alumni Foundation at 218.477.2143.
