Woodruff Center passes corporate campaign goal

The Woodruff Arts Center received some last minute donations, which enabled the corporate campaign to surpass its record $8.7 million by $175,000.

Beauchamp Carr, the center’s executive vice president who organizes the annual campaign, couldn’t have been more pleased. This was a particularly trying year because they only had 10 months rather than 12 to raise the money.

As Carr emailed me: “God bless the challenge fund raised by Tommy Holder and Veronica Biggins.” The challenge fund matches any new dollars that donors give to the campaign.

Maybe if Gary Peacock focused more on SunTrust’s deteriorating balance sheet and less on the Woodruff Arts Center, the stock would not have plummeted almost 50% in a year. I’m all for charity, but SunTrust will be looking for its own donations before too long.
