Thank you for a successful UB Giving Day!

Our fifth annual UB Giving Day has ended—and your participation has made it the greatest in school history!

 

So thank you. Thank you for your gifts. Thank you for participating in our challenges and matches. Thank you for sharing information about Giving Day with your own networks. And thank you for being a part of the UB family. We couldn’t have done this without your help.

 

Together, we’ve shown the world what a force the UB community can be when we come together for our students, our faculty and our world. Now, we’re working to tally the final numbers and share them with you in the coming days. Please stay tuned for more information.
