The Bancroft organization has launched a $6 million capital campaign called "Transforming Our World | The Campaign for Bancroft" to fund campus renovations, technology upgrades, and other initiatives. They have already raised $4.1 million or 68% of their goal. The campaign has funded a rebuilt campus at Mullica Hill and more iPads and Smartboards for students. Bancroft is asking for additional donations by June 30th to reach their $6 million goal and further transform lives through technology, facilities and other improvements.

2. Campaign’s progress leads to public roll-out, big goal for June (continued)
Pergolin made the public announcement
during a fitting occasion: the re-opening
celebration for our newly rebuilt campus
at Mullica Hill, whose reconstruction
was made possible by the Campaign
for Bancroft. (The campus also got a
new name –The Bancroft Lakeside
Campus at Mullica Hill – to better
reflect its picturesque setting.)
The campaign has already raised $4.1
million in gifts and pledges, which
have supported multiple far-reaching
initiatives. Our goal is to raise at least
$6 million by June 30, 2013.
