Donors’ matching gift challenge raises more than $250,000

UNC Lineberger donors have demonstrated the power of matching gift challenges. An anonymous coupled pledged to match every gift, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000,and within two weeks, the cancer center received $50,000 in matching gifts. After hearing about the campaign’s success, UNC Lineberger Board of Visitors members Bill and Nancy Graham were inspired to issue an additional $50,000 challenge, effectively quadrupling the gift.
