Florida State’s greatness began and continues because of dedicated individuals who volunteer their time and talents to support the University’s mission. Raise the Torch would not have ignited into a transformative blaze without the National Campaign Committee’s guidance and enthusiasm.  

The Committee, comprised of the University’s most generous donors and volunteers, leads our campaign with their philanthropic spirit, guides our campaign strategy and thought process, and encourages fellow Florida State alumni, friends and constituents to actively engage and support the University.
