Giving Day 2020

May 27 was certainly one for the Titan record books. Alumni came out in force during Trinity’s first ever Giving Day to increase financial support for families who are currently in need. With 157 total gifts and $18,051 raised, Titan alumni surpassed both goals for the day before 6 p.m! Alumni were able to see progress towards the goal in real time on a Giving Day webpage, which added to the excitement and competitive spirit throughout the day.

“Our alumni time and time again step up to show their support for the Titan community. These gifts were especially meaningful given the unexpected and difficult end to the school year for our students, particularly our seniors,” shared director of development, Anne Hurt.

Eight alumni ambassadors were integral to the success of the day. They rallied their classmates, shared videos on social media and personally made a gift in support of their alma mater and current students.

“We support our alma mater because we appreciate everything Trinity gave us, we stand with Trinity’s core values and we believe in Trinity’s future. And in terms of gift giving, we always want to be #1!”, shared Chris Ellis ’81 whose class had the most gifts during Giving Day this year.

YOU did it, Titans! Together we can accomplish amazing things. Thank you for always supporting, believing and caring. Now let’s do it again May 26, 2021!

I guess it is true what they say about the best-laid-plans…

COVID-19 has put a kink in, well, just about everything. In the spring, we made the exciting announcement about the addition of a sports turf field in Aycock Stadium. Due to the unfortunate circumstances presented by COVID-19, we were unable to finish the project over the summer as originally planned. However, we are thrilled to announce that construction will begin in November and completed in February. Even more exciting is that our student athletes will have the opportunity to compete on the new field this academic year! Our fall programs will begin their abbreviated seasons in February with spring programs to follow beginning in March.

We are grateful to our leadership supporters who have given a total of $625,000 towards our $1 million project goal. You can help us finish this project for our student athletes. In a year where so much is uncertain, the generosity of the Titan community is something we can always rely upon. #TogetherTitans

A few updates about the project: Trinity’s new sports turf field will include a wood infill versus synthetic material. This upgrade provides a field surface that is safer for athletes and one that is more environmentally friendly. The wood infill offers a cooler surface and is less abrasive which decreases the likelihood of injuries.
