COE Starfish Challenge
We're inviting YOU to donate $18.79 or more in honor of a teacher who made a difference in your life. SHSU has always been first in education, and this is our way of continuing that legacy—one meaningful gift at a time. With your $18.79 gift, we’ll place a starfish on the glass wall in the TEC entrance with the name of the teacher you’re honoring. Your donation supports a variety of areas that help current and future students pursue their dreams. Every donation honors a teacher who made a lasting impact, and each starfish on our wall tells their story. Just like in the starfish story, even the smallest act of kindness can create ripples of change. We’ve created three tiers of giving to celebrate every contribution: $18.79 – Honor a teacher with a classic starfish on our wall $187.90 – Make a bigger splash with a pink colored starfish $1,879.00 – Leave a legacy with a standout gold starfish
