Campaign spotlight: Alpha Phi,
University of Missouri
“It’s been exciting to see the impact and speed with which we were able to not only reach our goal, but exceed it by more than 50%!”
When renovating the original "906" chapter house grew into a full rebuild, the fundraising goal swelled to $1.5 million. Pennington helped Alpha Phi by combining decades of brand-building expertise with feasibility studies, data management, and generation-spanning storytelling that turned alumnae pride into sustained giving.
