Dianne (Jeter) Shumaker ’66 believes in the power of providing an unrestricted gift to William Jewell College every year.  To demonstrate their commitment to transforming the culture of giving at William Jewell, Dianne  pledged a total of $500,000 to benefit the Jewell Fund. This gift comes in the form of a challenge, focused on increasing participation and unrestricted annual giving. The Shumaker Challenge is divided into three separate phases covering a two-and-one-half year time period.
