ÎÛÓãÉç Launches Giving Day October 20

 

The ÎÛÓãÉç will celebrate its inaugural UA Giving Day on Tuesday, October 20. UA Giving Day - Forty-nine hours for the 49^th state - is an online fundraising effort for ÎÛÓãÉçlumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends to come together in support of a common goal to support the University of Alaska. Giving Day begins at noon on Tuesday, Oct. 20, and donors will have the opportunity to participate through 1 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22.

UA Giving Day is a collaborative effort between the ÎÛÓãÉç Foundation and the three separately accredited universities ÎÛÓãÉç Anchorage, University of ÎÛÓãÉç Fairbanks, and the ÎÛÓãÉç Southeast. It is an opportunity to encourage students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the community to come together in a show of support for the ÎÛÓãÉç. Donations of all sizes are welcome.

The UA Giving Day website, , has tools to help participants easily share the event through digital and social media channels. The website will track not only overall dollars and donors generated during UA Giving Day, but also gifts to schools and colleges, departments, programs and designated funds. Post about UA Giving Day across social media channels using the #UAGivingDay2020 hashtag and share in the UA Giving Day fun and excitement.

Donors are encouraged to support the campus and area of the University that is most meaningful to them. Social media ambassadors will challenge friends and family to also support the ÎÛÓãÉç on UA Giving Day.

In launching UA Giving Day, the ÎÛÓãÉç joins a successful trend among Association of American Universities institutions, creating a university-specific day to celebrate philanthropy.
