BY THE NUMBERS First Day of Giving Finds Success
In late April, members of the University community—alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, and friends —worked together in a 24-hour effort to encourge support for the University’s programs.
The first Day of Giving—taking place in conjunction with the first Thank A Giver Day—resulted in more than $750,000 in support. Here’s a look at the day’s numbers:
Day of Giving
- More than 1,000 donors made gifts.
- More than $739,000 was donated as of the end of the day.
- More than $11,000 came from 151 donors contacted by student callers.
Thank A Giver (TAG) Day
- More than 550 tags were placed throughout the River Campus to highlight facilities that were funded by donors.
- 100s of students participated in TAG Day activities.
