Put your money where your heart is - Opinion

Put your money where your heart is - Opinion: "However, I was surprised to find that one thing hasn't changed - the senior gift.

While the idea of a financial campaign instead of a physical gift is still a little prickly to many, when my parents were in school, their class contribution was simply 'Funds to Carolina Annual Giving.'

Of course, I learned this from the Carolina First Web site - neither one of them could remember what the gift was, let alone if they donated any money to the cause.

After all, that donation wouldn't have been any different than the others they've given throughout the years. I prefer the idea of an endorsed fund - it focuses the gift to a timely cause and ties the class of 2008 to a lasting piece of Carolina."
