Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity that takes place every year on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. Created in 2012, the day has grown into a global movement that inspires millions of people to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity.

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­΄«Γ½ has participated in Giving Tuesday since its inception. Over the course of 24 hours on Tuesday, December 1, more than 600 donors from all over the nation contributed $164,000 toward student success at ΒιΆΉΣ³»­΄«Γ½, funding a wide range of vital scholarships and programs, including career services, academic support, athletics, Knights Pantry and much more.

Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, this year’s donors set a new fundraising record for dollars raised for the university on Giving Tuesday.

β€œOnce again, donors proved that when we work together, we can do incredible things,” says Heather Junod ’98, associate vice president of ΒιΆΉΣ³»­΄«Γ½ Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving, who noted that this year’s campaign raised 15% more for student success than last year’s effort.

β€œWhen alumni, faculty and staff, parents, and everyone donates – they are supporting countless students, helping provide leadership opportunities, and helping Knights make their way all the way to graduation day,” says Sabrina La Rosa, ΒιΆΉΣ³»­΄«Γ½ student body president. β€œOn behalf of the entire student body, thank you for your constant support and generosity for our Knights and for our entire university.”
