In conjunction with the 50th Anniversary Finale, CSUB will also hold its second annual Giving Day on Oct. 1 from midnight to 11:59 p.m., giving campus and community members 24 hours to donate to the university.
CSUB aims to reach at least 575 donors during the digital fundraising marathon. During last year’s Giving Day, the university raised nearly $125,000 from more than 500 donors located in 21 states throughout the nation, as well as Canada.
“One of the greatest gifts a person can ever give is hope,” said Director of Annual Giving and Stewardship Daniel Rodela. “This fall, the spirit of generosity that resides in our community will manifest itself once more during our second-annual Giving Day and give our students hope.”
More than 65% of CSUB students need financial assistance to attend school. On Giving Day, anyone can donate to the areas on campus they are most passionate about.
Giving Day includes several challenges that unlock gifts for reaching certain donor milestones. For example, if CSUB reaches its goal of 575 donors on Giving Day, President Zelezny will unlock $50,000 to support student research. Other challenges aim to support CSUB’s social justice initiatives, Nursing Department and Roadrunner Scholarship Fund, among others. A full list of challenges can be found here.
