A Note from the Vice President of Advancement

Happy August!

Did you know August is National Make-a-Will Month? It’s a timely reminder to either create or revisit your will—and it doesn’t have to be a complicated or expensive process. In fact, there are several reputable online tools available at no cost to help you get started.

As you make plans for your future, we invite you to consider including a gift to the Middle Georgia State University Foundation in your estate plans. Whether through a specific percentage of your estate, a charitable IRA rollover, naming the Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement account, or establishing a charitable gift annuity, your legacy can make a lasting difference. Planned gifts ensure that your values live on, empowering students and creating opportunities for generations to come.

As we look ahead to fall, our Foundation team is turning its focus toward one of the most exciting events of the year — the President’s Gala, our largest annual fundraiser. We hope you'll join us on Friday, October 17 at 6 p.m. in the Hatcher Center on our Macon campus. This year’s black-and-white-themed formal affair promises an unforgettable evening, featuring cocktails, a silent auction, an elegant banquet, heartfelt student testimonials, and live music from The Grapevine Band to keep you dancing into the night.

With fall semester now underway, there’s a vibrant energy across our campuses. Every day, we see the direct impact of your generosity. Your support not only breaks down financial barriers to higher education, it also helps shape a stronger, more resilient society.

Thank you for your continued commitment to our mission. Together, we are changing lives and building a brighter future.

Warm regards,
Nancy White
