In August, a Florida couple contributed $4 million to Palmer — the single largest gift the College has ever received from an individual or couple. “As friends and admirers of Palmer College and its Florida campus, our gift is an investment in an organization — truly an economic engine — that is elevating the well-being of the citizens of Volusia County and beyond,” say the donors, who are not alumni and wish to remain anonymous. “This gift will support the people who do the meaningful and important work of educating future chiropractors — the graduates who eventually go out into their communities and transform lives through their care.” Just as Daring and Driven was coming to a close, the gift
shattered the campaign’s goal and inspired Melbourne to stretch toward $30 million in donations. “Humility and gratitude only begin to express the
College’s appreciation for these historic gifts and for every single contribution, no matter its size, that brought us to this moment,” says Dr. Marchiori. “Like Palmer College or chiropractic itself, this campaign is bigger than any one person or gift, and it’s our collective passion for this
profession, our belief in Palmer students and our generosity that make an overwhelming success like this possible.” “Passion, belief, generosity — while this campaign may be at an end, those are enduring qualities that will keep serving the best interests of the chiropractic profession, its
practitioners and its patients,” says
Melbourne. “Daring and Driven has proven not just what was possible over the last six years but what will be possible in the years to come with the continued support of our communities.” As a teacher, Dr. Barber sets the bar for her students to help them exceed their expectations of themselves. “I think this campaign has set the bar for Palmer College,” she says. “Just look at what we were able to do!” “This is the best it’s ever been,” adds Dr.
Spontak. “Now we need to keep it going. There is much more work to be done.”
