Description
Capitalizing on commencement season and the debut of Lewis & Clark's new River Otter mascot, this email appeal invited parents to honor their graduate with a gift to receive custom mascot socks. The creative "give-to-get" initiative resonated strongly, motivating 42 senior parents—many first-time donors—to contribute over $3,500 in celebrating their graduate's achievement.
