A charity quiz night has become a beacon of hope and community spirit, raising over 2 million for Marie Curie over the past 18 years. Organized by the North East fundraising group, this annual event brings together teams from across the region to compete in a fun and engaging quiz, all while supporting a noble cause. The funds generated from this event directly contribute to Marie Curie’s essential services, including nursing care and hospice support for those facing terminal illnesses.

In fiscal year 2025, the University of Memphis achieved a remarkable fundraising milestone, raising a total of $64,899,090. This impressive figure marks a 74% increase from the previous year, showcasing the university’s ability to galvanize support, particularly through its athletic department, which contributed nearly half of the total funds raised. However, amidst this success, there are underlying concerns that warrant attention. The decrease in the number of individual donors and the reduction in federal funding could signal potential challenges ahead.
