�鶹��ý����

�鶹��ý���� is calling on alumni, students, faculty and friends to step up as #1Day4�鶹��ý���� Champions and help power ONE DAY on April 23, the University’s tenth annual day of giving designed to rally the Red Hawk community around the programs and priorities that matter most.

Champions play a key role in spreading the word, inspiring classmates and colleagues and fellow alumni, and amplifying the impact of every gift. With just 24 hours to reach as many Red Hawks as possible, the campaign relies on peer-to-peer outreach to build momentum and strengthen connections across the �鶹��ý���� network.

• Engaging your workplace. Encourage colleagues and fellow alumni at your company to support �鶹��ý���� and explore opportunities for corporate matching gifts.
• Reaching out to your network. Use email and social media to invite friends, classmates and family to join you in giving.
• Sharing on social platforms. Post on , , , and using your personalized
  Champion link to track the impact of your outreach.

Registered Champions receive access to a digital toolkit with sample messages, graphics and a suggested outreach timeline to make sharing easy and effective.

Each Champion receives a personalized dashboard to monitor gifts generated through their unique link in real time. Throughout the day, participants can see how many donors they’ve inspired and how their efforts are helping move �鶹��ý���� closer to its campaign goals.

“ONE DAY for �鶹��ý���� is when our entire community comes together to elevate our students and support their success across campus,” says Kara Baldwin Brennan ‘92, Senior Director of Annual Giving.

“Our Champions are our most passionate advocates, helping spread the word and inspire others to take part. It’s a fun, meaningful way to be part of ONE DAY and make a difference for current and future Red Hawks.”
