To successfully pull off Bemidji State University’s Day of Giving, it takes months of quiet planning behind the scenes, countless hours of labor and dedicated boots on the ground to accomplish the mission.
But a flair for the dramatics sure doesn’t hurt either.
In the closing hours of Day of Giving, 1975 alumnus Allen Sunderman delivered a posthumous gift that was years in the making. Here's how one Beaver put us over the top with a six-figure gift in the eleventh hour.
