LAURINBURG, N.C.- A $500,000 matching challenge grant from The Morgan
Foundation of Laurel Hill propelled this year's Laurinburg Area Campaign
for St. Andrews Presbyterian College to success, raising more than $1
million in all for the college. Nearly 100 volunteers from Laurinburg and
Scotland County worked on the campaign. "This was the incentive that we
needed," Hasty said, referring to the $500,000 matching challenge. "This
made the job easy. With the support of The Morgan Foundation, how could we
fail?"
MONMOUTH, Ill.-A renovation of the student snack bar highlights more than

Street, addition of gallery space for a permanent art exhibit and new
dugouts on the softball field. The estimated cost to complete the project
is $901,000. This is in addition to work already scheduled on the Peacock

campaign. The endowment will be used to supplement the salary of the
chaplain, who will be named the Dr. William Crompton Bennett Chaplain. The
endowment honors Bennett, retired pastor of Trinity Avenue Presbyterian
Church in Durham and a former Peace trustee. Mr. and Mrs. Sloan are members
of Trinity Avenue Presbyterian Church and longtime supporters of Peace
College. Their gift is a leadership gift to the college's "Pathways to
Excellence" campaign, which has to date raised $9.7 million toward its
$14.5 million goal.
