Help Spread The Word For GivingTuesday!
The is now live and donations are coming in early! With your help, we can reach even more donors and ensure GivingTuesday is a success. And exciting news! Emeritus Trustee Dan Dutton and his wife, Sallie, are stepping forward with a generous $10,000 challenge gift to strengthen the Student Emergency Fund. Their challenge to our Pacific community: When we reach 100 gifts to the Student Emergency Fund, their $10,000 will be unlocked!
Every gift will count toward this goal — whether you give $10 or $1,000. It’s all about coming together as a community to show students that they’re not alone, that we’ve got their backs.
See below for language you can use to reach out to your friends, family and followers to raise awareness for the fund you care about and inspire others to give. GivingTuesday gifts can be made from now until 8 a.m. Dec. 3
We are so thankful for Boxers like you who can raise awareness of funds that you care about and make an impact on Pacific students and programs!
