ϳԹ is holding its first Day of Giving today. The goal is to set a new record of at least 618 gifts on 6.18—a number that would make it the largest one-day total of gifts in the history of ϳԹ.
From 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. EDT, alumni are encouraged to make gifts of any size to support their alma mater. And thanks to a generous donor, gifts from undergraduates on June 18 will be matched—making a $10 gift worth $20, $50 worth $100, and so on.
This 24-hour initiative features incentives and giveaways to encourage participation, including lunches with deans, gift cards, ϳԹ memorabilia and a grand prize of an iPad.
Throughout today, the ϳԹ Alumni Association—as well as others across the university—will post on and reasons to give, ways to get involved and much more.
Alumni, students, employees and friends are encouraged to share their reasons for giving, what alumni support means to them, or even just their favorite memories of ϳԹ. (Before the Day of Giving begins, faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends—and their friends—can join the event at bit.ly/ϳԹ-All-in.) For those tweeting their support, be sure to use the hashtag #ϳԹallin.
