Samford Hall lit up Saturday to thank Auburn's donors

AUBURN, Ala. (EETV)- Auburn University's Samford Hall lit up Saturday night following the Auburn football game.

The show, which featured images of iconic Auburn buildings and traditions, was meant to thank the hundreds of donors to the 'Because This Is Auburn' donation campaign.

University officials say that the campaign was the most successful fundraising campaign in Auburn's history, raising more than $1.2 billion.

Auburn was the first university in Alabama to raise a billion dollars. 

Funds will go towards new faculty positions, building projects and multiple programs across all of Auburn's colleges.
