#GRIZTuesday shatters expectations
#GRIZTuesday, Franklin College’s annual 24-hour athletic fundraiser, set a new single-year best by bringing in $180,871, easily surpassing the goal of $150,000. All proceeds from the day of giving, which was bolstered by an all-out social media awareness effort, will go to support the Grizzlies’ athletic programs.
