²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ

²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ was founded on the generosity of 13 men who gave 13 dollars and 13 prayers. Today, the University still thrives on the dedication of its loving ones.

Over the past 200 years, ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ has continued to ascend, thanks to the support of alumni, families, and friends. As the University pursues the bold ambitions of its Third-Century Plan, the worldwide ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ community will — as always — play an essential role. Your gifts to ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ enable the ascent of this great University and its students. As we seek to deliver greater affordability, equity, and inclusion, more resources mean more students of promise and achievement can access a ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ education.

On ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ 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 ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Fund - specifically the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Commitment, the University's initiative in access and affordability.

Thank you to the 3,691 members of this community who met the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Day Challenge, making gifts totaling $1,968,628 in support of the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ 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 ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ 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 ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Day. Thank you.

Campaign for the Third Century

The Campaign for the Third Century will help to usher in the largest and most significant transformation in the history of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. Learn more about the steps we're taking to solidify the University's place as a national leader in higher education.

This year's annual athletics fundraising challenge, March Mania, was another record-breaking success, surpassing our goal of $813,000 to raise $1,150,288 from 2,261 donors and unlock an additional $225,000 for the ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Athletics Fund --- that's over $1M in total support for ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ athletics generated through the challenge for the fourth year in a row!

Thank you to our 13 ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Athletics Fund donors who made this year's overall challenge possible, as well as to the more than 30 alumni and families who sponsored team-specific matches and challenges.

²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ's Division I athletics program continues to be a point of distinction and pride, and the collective generosity of our community in support of our student-athletes is inspiring. If you missed participating in this year's challenge, there's still time to help us reach our ambitious annual goals by June 30 at . Go, 'gate!
