Students, faculty, and staff shaped themselves into a visual reference to North Park’s Catalyst 606_ _ program.

On May 2, North Park held its Third Annual #NPUBlueandGoldDay and successfully raised nearly $82,000. The goal of achieving 606 donors topped off instead at 679. Gifts came from 35 states and 13 countries including American Samoa, Brazil, India, Nicaragua, Spain, and Sweden. Alumni accounted for 47% of donors, along with parents (23%), faculty and staff (14%), students (11%), and friends (5%).

Following a challenge to attract 60 new donors during the 6:06 pm–7:06 pm Power Hour, Joan Bickner C’65 made a $10,000 gift—along with 88 other donors who responded to the challenge. More than 500 North Parkers formed this year’s 606_ _ outdoor group photo to celebrate North Park’s successful Catalyst program.
