There is no limit to what can be accomplished in 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Records have been set for the farthest an individual has run, the most pull-ups completed and the number of restaurants visited, all within 1,440 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On March 22, those 24 hours were used for a vital purpose: investing in the next generation of textile leaders on NC State\u2019s fifth annual Day of Giving<\/a>. This university-wide fundraising event, which began in 2019, directly impacts the Wilson College of Textiles because donations made are amplified through the power of the entire Wolfpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe extraordinary generosity shown on Day of Giving and beyond is a high-impact illustration of our community\u2019s passion for a long-lasting and deep connection to our college. It is Wilson for Life<\/a> in action,\u201d says David Hinks, dean of the Wilson College of Textiles. \u201cIt is inspiring and humbling to see so many of our alumni, friends, students and colleagues supporting our Wilson College in building a brighter future for our students, our programs and the industry we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n With support from committed members of the Wilson College of Textiles community, $1,317,631 was raised on Day of Giving \u2014 all within 24 hours \u2014 from 562 gifts.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n This is the fourth consecutive year that the Wilson College of Textiles raised over $1 million on Day of Giving through gifts to the college by way of the North Carolina Textile Foundation (NCTF)<\/a>. As the philanthropic arm of the college, the NCTF uses donor support to make the college\u2019s groundbreaking, industry-leading work possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
