“Before we made our proposal to the Commission on Presidential Debates, we consulted with several corporate and community leaders who were very encouraging about potential financial support,” said Sandra Boyette, vice president for university advancement. “We are extremely grateful to this generous group of sponsors who are making an extraordinary event possible for our students, our community and the nation.”
US Airways and Wachovia Corporation also sponsored the 1988 presidential debate at Wake Forest.
