About the Phonathon

Everyone we call during the Phonathon has a direct connection to Sewanee. They lived in the dorms, ate at Shenanigans, swam in Lake Cheston, survived comps and took many of the classes you take today. In short, they understand what it is like to attend Sewanee.

Money raised goes to support the Sewanee Annual Fund. The Sewanee Annual Fund represents five percent of the operating budget for the University.

The Sewanee Annual Fund is used for Faculty salaries, Financial Aid, Scholarships, Athletics, DuPont Library, Student Activities, the Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services.
