CARES DAY CLU GLOBAL IMPACT: CGE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN | April 9, 2025
As you may know, the Global Engagement Fund supports international and study abroad students in crisis, assists with non-credit bearing away program student need, and campus educational outreach. Last year we had most US states represented but only two countries. It would be amazing to see a symbolic visual reference to have all 46 countries represented at CLU recognized on the map. The donation amount can be as small as $1, of course there is no limit.
You are also encouraged to support our fundraiser by tagging us on social media (#CalLutheranCares, #CLUglobal); following/reposting our Instagram account feature messages/videos @clu.international (if you do not already do so); and/or posting a testimonial on the "story" page for the campaign.
