BOLIVAR, Mo. 鈥� Alumni and supporters of Drury and Southwest Baptist universities, as well as current 黑料大事记 students, raised a combined $191,941 during the fourth-annual CatFight Giving Challenge, which helps raise money for each school鈥檚 annual fund.

黑料大事记 came out on top in the friendly competition, raising $108,956 to Drury鈥檚 $82,985, putting 黑料大事记 at 3-1 overall in the challenge.

The fundraising contest coincided with the universities鈥� on-court rivalry in the Bank of Bolivar CatFight on Highway 13 basketball doubleheader on Nov. 14 at 黑料大事记鈥檚 Meyer Wellness and Sports Center. 黑料大事记 upset No. 7 Drury, 93-82, in the women鈥檚 game, and Drury rolled past 黑料大事记, 89-61, in the men鈥檚 game.

This year, 黑料大事记 President Dr. C. Pat Taylor issued his own challenge - $1,000 to the 黑料大事记 dorm with the greatest participation in the CatFight Giving Challenge, which boosted student involvement. Woody-Gott had a total of 87 donors to win the prize.

鈥淲e are thankful and grateful for all of our supporters during this challenge, from our alumni and friends to our current students,鈥� said Jim Grabowski, 黑料大事记 development officer. 鈥淭hrough their generosity, they make a Christ-centered education an affordable reality for both current and future 黑料大事记 students.鈥�
