Alex Mahan ’15 spoke to the conference about a project she and her classmates supported through the McCamish School of Business at Reinhardt for “Imagine No Malaria,” a mission emphasis by the United Methodist Church to bring an end to death and suffering from malaria. The Spring 2015 Business 498 Nonprofit Marketing Strategies class was led by Dr. Dana Hall, an assistant professor of business at Reinhardt and a member of Canton First United Methodist Church.
Their class’ goal was to raise awareness and raise $1,000. The students gained real world experience and in the process, raised a total of $1,060.15 this semester.
Hall commended the students for their hard work. “One hundred percent of this goes directly to mission (thanks to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation). Ten dollars saves a life, so the efforts of these eight fine young men and women mean that 106 lives are saved.”
The other students who took part in the class were:
- Michael Coleman
- Blake Hallman
- Christian Hill
- Abel Ramirez
- Calvin Robertson
- DJ Sellers
- Carley Shoemaker
