Mansfield University will hold its 2
nd annual 24-hour Giving Day from Thursday, April 13 at 10 a.m. to Friday, April 14 at 10 a.m.
Led by the Department of Alumni Affairs & Advancement, MU Giving Day is 24-hours of giving – and the university's largest fundraiser of the year – in which donations are made to academic programs, athletic teams, and scholarships that support Mansfield students. In the inaugural Giving Day last year, Mansfield University raised more than $105,000 to support students.
"As Mansfield Athletics looks to support the university's Giving Day, Mountie Nation is calling on all alumni and friends of the program to make a difference and help us #MoveMountains," Director of Athletics
Peggy Carl said. "Our focus is scholarships and support for our student-athletes, so your gift will make an immediate impact to the lives of our student-athletes. This is a wonderful opportunity for those who have been positively impacted by Mansfield University to give back and help Athletics continue to grow. All donations – no matter how big or how small – will make a difference! Please consider making a gift that will help us reach our goals this week and into the future."
Mansfield University has designed this day of giving as an annual tradition where the campus and the region will come together in support of their community and higher education.
