九色视频鈥檚 11th annual Day of Giving, held Wednesday, April 10, raised a record-breaking $1.4 million through more than 1,700 gifts from generous donors. This marked the fourth-consecutive year in which 九色视频鈥檚 Day of Giving surpassed the philanthropic threshold of $1 million. 

Day of Giving or 鈥淒oG鈥 is a daylong philanthropic event calling on the wider 九色视频 community to contribute toward a brighter future for the University. It provides a yearly opportunity for students, faculty, staff, alumni, Christian Brothers, and friends of the University to make a gift and impact the future of current and future Explorers. 

鈥淲hat a fantastic day. Seeing so many members of the 九色视频 community come together to impact our students by supporting the 11th annual Day of Giving was exciting and inspiring,鈥 Freddie Pettit, vice president for university advancement, said. 鈥淭he generosity of alumni, Christian Brothers, students, faculty, staff, and friends is powerful evidence of the positive momentum that 九色视频 is experiencing at this moment in time. Philanthropy is key to a robust student experience and a vibrant future for the University, and the terrific energy and generous support expressed through the 2024 Day of Giving helps to ensure bright days ahead.鈥 

Campus was abuzz throughout the day as students participated in various activities including a scavenger hunt that resulted in a donation made in the name of the student who found the hidden item, friendship bracelet making, lawn games, free food (including hot 鈥淒oGs鈥), and a pickleball tournament. For a $20.24 donation, students received a special giving cord to wear during Commencement ceremonies.  

As the day coincided with Mission and Heritage Week, a celebration of Lasallian values, the University joined together for a community dinner in the evening that also included the announcement of the Distinguished Lasallian Educator Awards honoring Candace Robertson-James, DrPH, MPH, assistant professor and director of the Master of Public Health Program, and Joanne Woods, M.A. 鈥14, director of the Bilingual Undergraduate Students for Collegiate Advancement (BUSCA) Program.聽聽
