Capital Campaign
Passess Half-way Mark
By Sharon Frain
Assistant Editor
The twelve million dollar goal of
the Capital Campaign has past its
half way point. In the April update of
the Campaign, the total of cash dona
tions, pledges, and future interests
has reached $7,400,000.
The St. Andrews committment to
Laurinburg has resulted into pros
perity for the region. Now St.
Andrews is asking the community to
insure that its contribution will
continue by making the school
financially stable.
Laurinburg is beginning its drive
toward the one million dollar goal in
its part of the Campaign for St. An
drews. Mark Cayton, City Executive
of First National Bank, Laurinburg,
has been enlisted as chair of the Lau
rinburg Campaign section.
Cayton explained his acceptance
of heading the city campaign by real
izing the college’s impact. He
explains,”In the last few months I
have come to realize what St. An
drews means to Laurinburg and Scot
land County. That inspires me to
want to do a good job for the
Campaign for St. Andrews.”
“When I go to meetings for the Boy
Scouts or United Way, I see people
associated with St. Andrews leading
the way. I look at my Sunday School
class and see that I am taught by faculty
members of St. Andrews. Much of the
business and industry that has come to
town had found Laurinburg to be more
attractive because of St. Andrews.”
Another part of the Capital Cam
paign will call for the help of the Class
of 1991. The seniors have set a three
year goal at $7,500. All indications
show that this goal will be surpassed.
Along with the benefits of the
Campaign, two major grants have been
awarded to St. Andrews. The Cannon
Foundation of Concord, NC has given
a grant in the amount of $125,000 that
will go to the renovation of Concord
Hall. Also, the Presbyterian Founda
tion of Goldsboro has awarded the
school a four year $60,000 grant to be
applied toward renovation of Albe
marle Hall.
All projections show that St. An
drews will reach its twelve million
dollar goal.
