The California State University, Bakersfield community and the community at large will have the opportunity to transform the lives of students next month.
CSUB is holding its third annual Giving Day on Oct. 6 from midnight to 11:59 p.m., giving campus and community members 24 hours to show their support by donating to various areas of the university.
On Giving Day, anyone can donate to the areas on campus they are most passionate about, including CSUB’s four schools, Athletics, Walter W. Stiern Library, Dreamers Resource Center and more. The campaign will also include several challenges that unlock gifts for reaching certain donor participation milestones.
“Giving Day is an incredible opportunity to reflect on our values to pave the way for our students to experience the joy of a top-tier education — an opportunity that will help them overcome real-life challenges in a meaningful way,” said Director of Annual Giving and Stewardship Eric Weis. “On October 6, let us come together in supporting our students’ needs so that down the road, they may give back to the next generation of CSUB students.”
CSUB aims to surpass 700 donors during the digital fundraising marathon. During last year’s Giving Day, the university raised nearly $245,000 from 693 donors across the nation, as well as Canada.
Money raised through Giving Day will help CSUB reach its goal of raising $55 million by July 2024 as part of its first-ever comprehensive fundraising campaign, which was publicly announced in October 2021.
