A day to support your university!
It’s finally here! Today is #UBGivingDay!
This is the day to support your own.
Through fun and interactive challenges, like chances to win some sought after UB swag and good old fashioned UB pride, today our entire community will come together to help build UB’s future.
Let’s show the world what our True Blue family can do when it comes together in one global day of generosity and pride. Here’s what we ask you to do:
Scroll to the bottom of the page to find a UB cause that you care about. Make your gift and be sure to see if your gift today will unlock additional money or can be multiplied by a matching gift – all the more reason to make your gift today!
Join the herd! After you’ve made your gift, connect with the UB community on social media to participate in social media contests for some fun and a chance to win UB swag. Use #UBGivingDay to connect and share to your network.
Big or small, your gift has a positive impact on UB students. Thank you for being a part of our annual UB Giving Day and Go Bulls!
