Holiday Countdown 2025

About the Holiday Countdown

The Student Philanthropy Council’s Holiday Countdown was hosted November 25 through December 31, 2025! It was filled with festive activities, fun events, and great ways to give back during the holiday season.

SPC set a goal of $55,000 for their holiday initiative and we’re pleased to report that our students met and even exceeded their goal! We are grateful to all supporters who started their holiday season off by giving a gift that changes students’ lives!

We proudly recognize all generous individuals on the Student Philanthropy Council’s Donor Wall.
