Day of giving at BGSU

Bowling Green State University is hosting its annual BGSU One Day today and tomorrow. Over the course of the 36 hour event, this year's dedicated day of giving hopes to engage 4,100 alumni and supporters in all 50 states to collect gifts for programs, colleges, and causes at the University. BGSU hopes to break last year's record of $2.77 million in combined gifts and will be allowing supporters to double their impact and unlock additional donor contributions through multiple match and challenge gifts. Donations benefit current and future students at BGSU for student learning experiences, including the Thompson Working Families Scholarship program, helping students from working families overcome financial barriers to earn college degrees. Other ways BGSU One Day gifts benefit students include: Funding additional merit and need-based scholarships Provide experiential learning opportunities through study abroad, field experiences, internships and co-ops, club sports, athletics, BGSU Bands, Greek Life, and more Support teaching quality and impactful research contributing to the health and well-being of communities and populations Enhancing communities through engagement, service, and innovative partnerships For more information, visit BGSU.edu/OneDay.
