We are grateful for all gifts given to the College and we provide special recognition to gifts at a certain level. The College has a number of gift clubs to recognize all levels of commitments to Emory & Henry. Donations at any level include recognition in the annual Honor Roll of Donors.
Gift Clubs
Emory & Henry has been blessed by remarkable generosity on the part of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends. To honor your generosity, E&H recognizes its donors at varied levels. The College community extends a hearty word of thanks to every person who is a member of one of these gift clubs.
