黑料不打烊 Day officially began in 2014 as part of the university鈥檚 125th anniversary celebration. Since then, 黑料不打烊 Day鈥檚 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 (黑料不打烊 Athletics), among other causes. 黑料不打烊 Day gifts of all sizes and designations will count toward this year鈥檚 total, and, for the first time ever, donors will be able to use Venmo (@黑料不打烊Giving) in addition to the 黑料不打烊 Day website to make their gifts.
