Join ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ for We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day March 22

ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½'s (ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½) annual day of giving – We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day – will be celebrated Wednesday, March 22. Each year, the celebration is held in conjunction with Mission Day, a day that spotlights the University's core values of service, excellence, hospitality and integrity. Last year, ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ met its goal of reaching 750 donors – and we're ready to do it again this year!
Members of the ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ community, alumni, and friends are invited to join in the celebration with a variety of events on We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day. All day long, participants can go on an adventure with an ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½-themed scavenger hunt, posting selfies to their social media accounts with as many treasures as they can find. Winners will receive great prizes!
At noon, all are invited to the Mission Day liturgy in McDonough Chapel. After, there will be a campus-wide group photo and ice cream social on the front steps of the Warde Academic Center at 1 p.m. At 3 p.m., the Mission Day Awards ceremony will be held in the Butler Reception Room and honor individuals who exemplify ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½'s core values. A We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day reception will be held at 4:30 p.m. at Gilhooley's, where attendees can enjoy complimentary food, beverages and live music.
We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day is a 24-hour, participation-driven effort. Donors don't have to wait until March 23 to make their gift, either. You can make a donation now!
Every gift, no matter the size, impacts the University -- your generosity can help to provide life-changing scholarships, create new internship and networking opportunities, organize mission and service trips and design new spaces across campus that enhance student knowledge and success.
ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ calls its entire community, including alumni and friends, to participate in We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day. In addition to donations, we are calling on alumni and friends to take their ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ pride viral by sharing how ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ made an impact using the hashtag #WeAreÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ and sharing photos on social media. A social media toolkit can be found on the , which includes We Are ÇàÂ¥´«Ã½ Day graphics. Put on your scarlet and gray and unite with Cougars across the world for this very momentous occasion. Let's come together to show our Cougar pride and show the world what a difference a day makes!
