Why We Give

"By investing in Carthage,
I am helping preserve the opportunity for my children, and other students, to have the same experiences I did."

Jason Milligan, '01, graduated with a degree in business administration and marketing. He is a professional sales representative for Ortho-McNeil Inc. and lives in Combined Locks, Wis., with his wife and 2-year-old twins.
"Carthage allowed me the chance to become well rounded in both social and academic ventures," he said. "By investing in Carthage, I am helping preserve the opportunity for my children, and other students, to have the same experiences I did. When I think of Carthage, I feel like I am going back to my roots, where I grew into the person I am today. I ask all alumni to look at where they are in life, what they have accomplished, and how they are viewed by their peers, and ask themselves, 'Where would I be, today, without my experience at Carthage?'

"Annual giving is an important and vital way to assist in promoting and securing the existence, availability, and future of Carthage for everyone."

Denny and Jan Lamers are the parents of T.J. Lamers, '09, who majored in business administration and marketing and played on the Carthage football team. The Lamers family is from Appleton, Wis.
"Being a part of the Carthage family has shown us how far faculty and staff will reach to enhance the lives of current students. Carthage has taught our son a great balance between becoming independent, while having a sense of security and discipline to help him in his transition into adulthood. Annual giving is an important and vital way to assist in promoting and securing the existence, availability, and future of Carthage for everyone. We are happy to support what has proven to be such a valuable life opportunity for our son."

"Carthage was the turning point in my life. The Carthage experience provided me the tools for many of the things I have accomplished since graduating."

Patrick Anderson graduated from Carthage in 1985 with a degree in history. He is the president of his own law firm and lives in Alexandria, Va.
"Carthage was the turning point in my life. The Carthage experience provided me the tools for many of the things I have accomplished since graduating in 1985, including the courage to start my own law firm upon graduation from law school. I do not believe I could have created a successful business over the last 20 years absent the Carthage experience.
"Unrestricted giving is important because it allows the College to use the money where the need is greatest. If you are contemplating a gift to Carthage, I say, in a time when there are so many notable organizations that need our financial gifts, Carthage must remain at the top. Those gifts will be used to enhance the Carthage experiences of so many young people who will make the difference in so many areas of need in our world. Without your gifts, the world will lose someone who would have made a difference."
"One of my great privileges during the past few years has been the opportunity to 'give back' to Carthage — the place that had such a profound impact on the person I have become.
"I feel that I'm helping to make the 'Carthage Experience' possible for today and tomorrow's students, who will leave here equipped to make their mark on the world, and hopefully give back to Carthage themselves."
