For a 40th time in the 100-plus year history of Georgia Southern University, community volunteers canvassed Bulloch County to raise money for an annual “A Day for Southern” fundraising campaign. On Tuesday, the nearly 150 volunteers visited businesses throughout the day and helped collect a total of $2,111,160, which will help promote college academics, athletics, arts, and more — aiding the university with costs not covered by state funds. The tally shatters the previous high-water mark ($1,417,799) set last year.
