On Thursday, March 5, the global Â鶹ÊÓƵ community can participate in a daylong celebration by making a gift to the university, attending on-campus and regional alumni chapter events, and sharing their Â鶹ÊÓƵ pride on social media.
Â鶹ÊÓƵ Day, the university’s annual day of giving, will take place tomorrow, Thursday, March 5. This day is an opportunity for the worldwide Â鶹ÊÓƵ community to come together and make an impact on the lives of current and future Â鶹ÊÓƵ students. Now in its seventh year, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Day encourages engagement and philanthropy among all members of Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s global community. This year’s theme is All in for Â鶹ÊÓƵ, signifying the greater collective impact the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community can make by coming together to support the university.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ Day officially began in 2014 as part of the university’s 125th anniversary celebration. Since then, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Day’s momentum and impact have grown year after year. Last year donors made history with 6,376 gifts totaling more than $2.3 million. Donors were able to make gifts toward specific areas of campus that mean the most to them, including areas such as student scholarships, academic schools and departments, and the Phoenix Club (Â鶹ÊÓƵ Athletics), among other causes. Â鶹ÊÓƵ Day gifts of all sizes and designations will count toward this year’s total, and, for the first time ever, donors will be able to use Venmo (@Â鶹ÊÓƵGiving) in addition to the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Day website to make their gifts.
