29 PLANNED GIVING 18-19-20 CAPSTONE CAMPAIGN In September, TCNJ embarked on a yearlong fundraising effort in tribute to the historic presidency of R. Barbara Gitenstein. The effort was dubbed 18.19.20 as a nod to its academic year 2018 time frame, the 19-plus years of Gitenstein's tenure, and the desire to further strengthen the college for 2020 and beyond. The campaign raised $8,192,939 from over 4,400 donors, exceeding its initial goal of $7 million. 12 challenge gifts unlocked 53 percentage of alumni donors 66 percentage of gifts made online 1,471 number of donors BY THE NUMBERS TOTAL RAISED $ 289,937 Bruce Brown and his wife, Vivian Bell-Brown, of Mission Viejo, California, established the Bruce Brown '77 and Vivian Bell- Brown '78 Endowed Scholarship. Their $3 million bequest will provide scholarship support to underrepresented students studying electrical engineering and speech pathology at TCNJ. As students, Bruce and Vivian both worked to afford college, holding jobs to pay their way, while also balancing full course loads. The Browns trust that the financial assistance provided by their philanthropy will afford students the ability to focus on their academic and cocurricular experiences at the college rather than their financial concerns.
