³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯'s annual Giving Day is March 22
On Tuesday, March 22, the ³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯ community will come together to βGive Blueβ during ³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯βs
Giving Day has become the unofficial kickoff of the end of the academic year. βAfter a long Maine winter, Giving Day is a fun way for all of us to come together and celebrate all that makes ³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯ special while raising important funds for the university,β said Alicia Fereday, Vice President of Institutional Advancement.
Each year, members of the ³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯ community come forward to offer challenges, matches, and incentives to encourage giving on or before Giving Day. This year, they are as follows:
- When 800 donors make a gift on or before Tuesday, March 22, members of the Board of Trustees will contribute $10,000;
- Gifts from new ³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯ donors will be matched 1:1 up to $16,000 thanks to a challenge from Wright-Ryan and ³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯ Trustees;
- When more than 150 Westbrook Junior College and Westbrook College donors make their gift, a Westbrook alumna will make a $15,000 gift to ³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯;
- When 150 alumni, faculty, professional staff, and students of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) make a gift, Dean Jonathan Millen will take a chilly plunge in the Saco River off of Freddy Beach. He says he is recruiting others, so stay tuned!
For all members of the ³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯ community, there is no better day to make a gift to support the ³ΙΘΛΦ±²₯ experience than Tuesday, March 22.
Your gift just might be the one that puts us over the top.
