Description

New Student & Family Programs is proud to announce our annual Fall Family Weekend, as well as our annual Silent Auction, for student family members and supporters. Fall Family Weekend will be held on September 29-30, 2023. Attendees will participate in many events including a campus block party, pre-game tailgate, football game, and more while spending quality time with their students.

We are asking for your support in donating items, gift cards, packages, and/or tickets that can be placed in the Silent Auction. All proceeds from the Silent Auction directly support student scholarships, which are critical to recruit and retain Georgia Southern students and provide them the support necessary to succeed and graduate.  Many of these recipients are considered financial need-based students.


In return, we would also be happy to place a flyer, brochure, coupon, or business card inside our Fall Family Weekend bags that are distributed to all attendees at check-in. All donations will be included on our Fall Family Weekend auction website with your business' logo and a brief description of the item.

Your participation would be greatly appreciated. If you are interested in donating an item, please email us directly. We ask donations to be received by our office no later than September 1, 2023 in order to be prepared for the event. Please let us know if other arrangements need to be made to receive your items. If you have any questions, please call New Student & Family Programs at 912-478-7627.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We hope you will partner with us in supporting student leadership scholarships!

Sincerely,
Office of New Student & Family Programs
