Cummings Graduate Institute for Behavioral Health Studies (CGI) is excited to participate in Arizona Gives Day, April 7, 2020. During their past two years of participation in Arizona Gives Day, CGI was proud to raise enough funds to support four student scholarships. One hundred percent of all funds contributed to the 2020 Arizona Gives Day campaign will go directly to student scholarships.
Arizona Gives Day is a grassroots, statewide day of giving that invites Arizonans to support their favorite causes. Participants can visit azgives.org and donate the day-of (April 7), or schedule gifts in advance. Arizona Gives Day helps raise awareness about Arizona nonprofits and the critical role they play in our communities and state. This statewide day of giving has raised more than $17 million since 2013. On April 7, the event will inspire people to “invest in Arizona” by giving to nonprofits making our state stronger and creating a thriving community for all.
When asked about why CGI participates in Arizona Gives Day, Melissa McGurgan, Director of Marketing replied, “Arizona Gives Day helps us work toward our goal of creating an institutional scholarship fund to reduce financial barriers for our students pursuing a Doctor of Behavioral Health degree at CGI. Donating to CGI is a direct investment in our extraordinary students, who give back to their communities, conduct innovative applied research in integrated behavioral healthcare, and are passionate about changing the way the world experiences healthcare. Their work makes a long-term difference in the lives of others. With great anticipation, we look forward to being able to reduce the financial burden for five of our students as they pursue a doctoral degree through our Arizona Gives Day fundraising initiative.”
Arizona Gives Day is April 7th. To make a donation in support of student scholarships, the public is urged to visit the CGI donation page on Arizona Gives’ website.
