ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Day officially began in 2014 as part of the university’s 125th anniversary celebration. Since then, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ 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 (ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Athletics), among other causes. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ 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 (@ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈGiving) in addition to the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Day website to make their gifts.
