Every Friday the 13th, the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø community celebrates . . .
ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Day is a worldwide celebration that takes place every Friday the 13th. It’s a day to gather with ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø friends and show your pride for alma mater, to wear maroon, and to show your love on social media. On ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Day we celebrate our ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø spirit, and our connection with ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø alumni spread all across the globe.
On ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Day, we issued a challenge that if 3,113 members of this community made a gift, a group of generous challengers would give $1.5 million in support of the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund - specifically the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Commitment, the University's initiative in access and affordability.
Thank you to the 3,691 members of this community who met the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Day Challenge, making gifts totaling $1,968,628 in support of the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Fund. When added to the $1.5 million unlocked by our challengers, a total of almost $3.5 million was raised. This is truly remarkable and is an important step forward in our continued fundraising efforts for the ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Commitment. While it is true that we have significantly more to raise in order to reach our ambitious financial aid goal - to see 50% of students eligible to receive aid - we took an important step forward on ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø Day. Thank you.
