#UBGivingDay
Thank you for your bold support!
Our fourth annual Giving Day has ended—and we’re incredibly thankful that you and many other students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends from all over the world came together to show what a difference one day can make.
This year, we received an overwhelming amount of support. Your generosity, enthusiasm and UB pride were instrumental in making Giving Day a success. Together, your gifts are more than just dollars—they’re a celebration of our university, a devotion to our community and an investment in our bold future.
So, we’d like to thank you. Thank you for your gift. Thank you for participating in our challenges, matches and other limited-time events. Thank you for sharing information about Giving Day with your friends, family and network. And thank you for being part of our UB family. We couldn’t do this without you.
We’re incredibly proud of our numbers and we’re confident that we’re going to hit our goal. Your gifts will be felt in every classroom, on every campus, for years to come. Now, we’re working hard to tally up the final numbers and share them with you in the coming days. Please stay tuned for more information.
And remember, Giving Day may be over, but it’s never too late to make a gift in support of our Boldly Buffalo campaign. If you’d like to give to UB, please visit our campaign website.
