This video, titled The 125th Anniversary: Birthday Gifts, was produced by University Communications on February 11, 2014 for the Elon’s birthday celebration on March 11, 2014. John Barnhill, Class of 1992, wanted to inform the audience about a special Elon day. He stated, “March 11, 2014 is actually our 125th birthday. We were founded 125 years ago.” People were waving ribbons around Barnhill in the video shot with a birthday cake and candles. He continued to state, “Many of you have seen a postcard on this and March 14th we want to reunite all of our constituents and we need our volunteers to make this day possible. We are asking everyone to do three things. Wear your year. Wear your maroon and gold in pride. And this will show - everyone loves Elon” (volunteers tossed an Elon cap onto Barnhill’s head. Waved the Phoenix stuffed doll, pom-poms, and an Elon license plate). He continued to say, “We know this is a transformational place. So how do we share that? Make a gift on March 11, 2014. And encourage those that you know to make a gift, as well. It is really important to be a part of that. The last part is ‘spread the word.’ You getting the word out about ‘A day for Elon’ is the most important part of this. How are you going to spread the word? So – We need your help. A day for Elon, March 11, 2014. It is our birthday. Let’s celebrate.” 00:01:08 A graphic read, Elon University- A day for Elon- #ElonDay. 00:01:10 Barnhill blew out the candles on the cake. And then people were cheering and pom-poms were being waved in front of Barnhill. The shot goes to color bars. And Barnhill comes back-up laughing! 00:01:19 Next, a graphic read: “Wear your Gear + Make a Gift + Spread the Word = 3.11.14 - A day for ELON. #ELONDAY.”
