Down the stretch we come! Can we make it $15,000 by midnight??
Dear alumni and friends of the Daily Bruin,
The Daily Bruin scholarship campaign of 2021 is coming down the stretch, and with 7 hours left till the stroke of midnight, we are OH SO CLOSE to our stretch goal of $15,000!
We are grateful for your generous support of the Daily Bruin scholarship. Every dollar banked in our DB scholarship fund will help aspiring journalists practice the craft at the award-winning UCLA Daily Bruin.
All we ask of you is that you continue to spread the good word TONIGHT about our campaign and encourage your classmates, friends and family to contribute to our scholarship. It's simple, just text, email, tweet, share or post this link spark.ucla.edu/dban21.

Dear Friends of the UCLA Daily Bruin:
BREAKING NEWS! In just 10 days, the DBANxSpark '21 campaign hit its goal of $10,000 for the Daily Bruin Scholarship program!
Fifty-six donors from Hawaii to Massachusetts have chipped in toward the 2022-23 Daily Bruin Scholarships so far. A special shout-out to John Crittenden '78 (DB News), the 55th donor who put us over $10,000, as well as DBAN Spark Ambassador Missy Anderson '97 (DB Sports), who leads in engagements and donations! We are also grateful to friends and family of former DBAN board member Dave McNary '74 (DB News), for whom we will once again dedicate one of the 2022-23 DB scholarships.
And now, in the remaining two weeks or so of our 2021 campaign, the Daily Bruin Alumni Network is delighted to stretch our DBANxSpark goal to $15,000! Every dollar banked in our DB scholarship fund will help aspiring journalists practice the craft at the award-winning UCLA Daily Bruin.

What a GREAT start! $8500!
Dear Friends and Supporters of the UCLA Daily Bruin:
Just one week into our first-ever Spark campaign, YOU have come through big time for the Daily Bruin Scholarship. We have raised almost $8,500 from 46 donations, and we're closing in quickly on our annual goal of $10,000!
Established in 2018, the DB Scholarship provides merit scholarships to Daily Bruin student-staffers pursuing careers in the press and media. Your support enables the DB scholars to spend more time in the newsroom and in the field, practicing the craft and preparing for a competitive (and important) profession upon graduation.
Please help push us over the top this week, by sharing our campaign and encouraging your classmates, friends and family to contribute to the 2022-23 Daily Bruin Scholarship. It's simple, just text, email, tweet, share or post this link spark.ucla.edu/dban21.
