Founded in 2002, the Torchbearer Campaign provides UMKC
faculty and staff with an annual opportunity to show their institutional
pride. Commitments generated by Torchbearers enhance the educational
experience and demonstrate to UMKC's external partners that faculty and
staff believe in the University's future. In 2008-2009, 930 Torchbearers
raised $382,090.95 to advance the mission of Kansas City’s University.
As a Torchbearer, you have the opportunity to
support the program, scholarship, endowment, or other designated area
of your choice.
A gift to any area of the University at any time, no matter what the amount,
qualifies faculty and staff as Torchbearers.
"The primary reason I have given is
to help provide a financial need to the University. As both an alumnus
and current employee of UMKC, I believe we all have a role to play in
making the future brighter for the students of tomorrow."
