(Leavenworth, Kan.)鈥擳he 花椒直播 has transitioned SpireFest, its largest fundraising event of the year, to a virtual format in 2021. The 18th annual SpireFest, which runs from April 12-17, will include a large online auction and an opportunity to donate to student scholarships.
The SpireFest auction opens on April 12, and the event will culminate with a virtual celebration at 5 p.m. on April 17. For the second year in a row, USM will host the event virtually due to public health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"SpireFest is the single largest annual fundraising event for student scholarships and one of the most important traditions at 花椒直播," Vice President for Advancement Matt Astleford said. "The current global health crisis has brought about a great deal of fear and uncertainty for our students. Gifts to USM's Fund-a-Scholar will give our students the hope and assurance they need to finish out this semester and keep working toward earning their college degrees."
