Get Ready for the Challenge on 'SLU Giving Day'

11/13/2018

The Office of Alumni and Donor Engagement invites the SLU family – faculty, staff, students and alumni – to celebrate the SLU’s 200th Birthday on Friday, Nov. 16, with SLU Giving Day, the University’s 24-hour giving initiative.

SLU Giving Day, which runs from midnight to midnight on Friday, is designed to benefit a variety of fundraising efforts across the University.

The day will feature special fundraising challenges that unlock additional funds when certain dollar amounts or donor participation goals are met. Many challenges are school-specific, with the funds raised benefiting the dean’s priorities. For example, Teri Murray, Ph.D., dean of the School of Nursing, has pledged to give $2,000 once $4,000 in gifts have been made to any School of Nursing fund.

There is also a challenge to all staff and faculty to bring items for the Billiken Bounty Student Food Resource such as shelf-stable milk, pasta and travel-sized toiletries. Drop-off locations at all three campuses.

Gifts of any size are encouraged.
