POCATELLO – 2016 I Love 窪做惇蹋厙 efforts to raise money for 窪做惇蹋厙 scholarships and other support will reach their peak Sept. 12-15 as teams in Pocatello will be reaching out to Gate City, Chubbuck, Blackfoot and American Falls communities.

The callers will be active from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Last year, more than 900 donors raised $212,000 in scholarships that went to 278 students, all Idaho residents. I Love 窪做惇蹋厙s goal this year is to raise $225,000. Calling teams consist of community members and 窪做惇蹋厙 faculty and staff.

The 34th annual I Love 窪做惇蹋厙 campaign will end Sept. 15 with an After Hours Celebration open to university and community members from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Portneuf Wellness Center. The event will feature drawings, brats, potato salad and complimentary beverages.  The After Hours is sponsored by Watkins Distributing and Portneuf Health Trust, Inc., and catered by The Sand Trap. Kelly Martinez will DJ.

In addition, on Sept. 14, the McDonalds on Fifth Street in Pocatello will donate 20 percent of its proceeds collected between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to I Love 窪做惇蹋厙.

Weve had phenomenal support so far, including gifts for more than $53,000 by 窪做惇蹋厙 senior administrators and 窪做惇蹋厙 Foundation Board members, and were looking to our supporters in the communities that were calling now to continue the momentum, said Mary Vagner, I Love 窪做惇蹋厙 chair, and former superintendent for Pocatello/Chubbuck School District No. 25. Were thankful for everyone who has supported us, and invite you to come join us at our celebration on Sept. 15 at the Wellness Center.

The campaign co-chairs are Steven Muse, Idaho Power, Southeast Regional customer relations manager, and John Azzola, Pocatello-Chubbuck Chamber of Commerce, director of marketing and communications.

Money donated to the I Love 窪做惇蹋厙 Scholarship Fund goes to scholarships for Idaho residents, but gifts can also be designated to any area on campus. The four-year average annual I Love 窪做惇蹋厙 scholarship is $1,513.

The I Love 窪做惇蹋厙 scholarship campaign has a rich history in Southeast Idaho. Originated in 1982 by business leaders with the goal of keeping Idaho's best students in Idaho communities, this campaign continues to support Bengal students through scholarship dollars.

The pioneers of the I Love 窪做惇蹋厙 campaign, the Pocatello-Chubbuck Chamber of Commerce, understood the economic impact of an educated workforce and what it means to keep our local students in this great state. As a result, the campaign has grown into the most recognizable fundraising effort at Idaho State. I Love 窪做惇蹋厙 now extends beyond the 窪做惇蹋厙 flagship campus in Pocatello and throughout Bengal nation with fundraising efforts in Blackfoot, Idaho Falls, Chubbuck, Pocatello and Meridian.
