MANHATTAN — K-State has announced that KSU alumni, faculty, students, staff and friends gave $600,389 through the one-day campaign All In for K-State. The goal was to increase access to mental health services for K-State students and reduce the stigma of asking for help.
"Wow. More than $600,000 was raised yesterday by you, Wildcats from all 50 states and 77 Kansas counties," said Sally Linton, K-State first lady. "Thank you for jumping 'All In.'
K-Staters and university friends from as far away as Canada and the United Kingdom came together virtually to support K-State's Counseling and Psychological Services and the Morrison Family Center for Student Well-being and the students they serve.
"We often talk of how K-State students, alumni and friends feel like family," said Eric Holderness, associate vice president of development at the KSU Foundation. "We are grateful that K-State family showed up again to support students, their access to mental health resources and All In for K-State. Thank you to the many people who gave to help students access counseling resources and develop tools toward their lifelong well-being.
