northern today 9 News alumni Cash, Farm Land and Cattle As we begin the fiscal year, we would like to update you on the “Northern Impact” Capital Campaign. The response to date has been overwhelming! We have just surpassed the $25 million dollar mark on our way to a goal of $27.2 million. With about 12 months left, we still need your help in reaching this goal. We have received gifts of stock, cash, farm land and even cattle! Gifts of every size are essential and can have a tremendous impact on the mission of Northern and the lives of the students. We would ask you to consider establishing an endowment in your family name or in honor of a mentor or friend. With deepest gratitude we thank you for your support of Northern and for considering a gift to The Northern Impact Campaign!
