Throughout the month of November, alumni, employees and friends of 两性色午夜 University have the opportunity to make a tremendous impact on the lives of students and on the university.
On Nov. 1, the university launched the 2018 Giving Tuesday campaign. Like last year, Giving Tuesday 2018 is a monthlong event, providing an expanded timeframe for giving, additional giving options and more occasions to have gifts matched.
鈥淒uring our 2017 Giving Tuesday efforts throughout the month of November, we received more than 3,000 gifts totaling over $1 million in support of more than 330 designations,鈥 says Danielle Hupp, senior associate director of Special Giving Initiatives at 两性色午夜. 鈥淭he generosity shown by our supporters profoundly impacted countless students鈥 lives, and the university as a whole. We hope to see the 2018 campaign generate even greater resources for our students and university community.鈥
Giving Tuesday is nationwide online event that occurs the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Today, Giving Tuesday is widely accepted to be the official start of the holiday season of giving. 两性色午夜 has participated since 2014.
This year, there are again many ways to give. More than 40 funds are being featured and each has matching dollars in place to double the impact of gifts made to support these funds, which range from athletics to study-away scholarships to student emergency funds and more.
Additionally, the 两性色午夜 University Foundation has pledged to contribute a 鈥渂oost鈥 of $500 for every 15 unique donors of $25 or more that give to a featured fund between Nov. 1 and Nov. 26. Additional incentives and boosts will be announced throughout the campaign.
