Thankful Thursday
🧵 Kohawks, You’ve Woven Something Incredible! 🧵
Thankful Thursday 2025 officially wrapped up at 11:59 PM CST on November 23, and what a tremendous occasion it was!
THANK YOU for coming together and helping us make our second annual Thankful Thursday a true masterpiece of generosity. Because of you, we reached our goal of 100 gifts and proved that when Kohawks unite, we can weave something extraordinary.
Your support is more than a donation. It is a vital thread in the fabric of Coe College. Each gift strengthens the tapestry of opportunities for students who might not otherwise have access to a life-changing education. You have made a real difference, and we could not be more grateful.
While Thankful Thursday may be over, you can keep the momentum going by supporting Coe’s Annual Fund. Every contribution adds another strong strand to the weave that holds our community together.

Why We Give: Weaving a Stronger Coe
Coe College has long been a place where students are nurtured, challenged and empowered to pursue their passions. That transformative experience is made possible by the unwavering support of alumni and donors through contributions to the Annual Fund.
Why Give Back?
Giving back to Coe isn't just about honoring tradition, it's about investing in the future. Your gift to the Annual Fund helps provide scholarships, strengthen academic programs and create meaningful opportunities for current students. It's a way to ensure that future Kohawks benefit from the same life-changing experiences that shaped your own journey.
Join Us This Year
On Thursday, November 20, we invite the entire Coe community to come together for the second annual Thankful Thursday. After a successful first year, this growing tradition is a chance to reflect, reconnect and give back in support of our students. Every gift, no matter the size helps us weave a stronger, brighter future for Coe.
