What is Johnnie Day of Giving?

Johnnie Day of Giving has been a day when the entire St. John's College community comes together to show their love and make a difference for the Program and the entire St. John's College community!

This year, Johnnie Day of Giving will run for 24 hours from midnight on Wednesday, April 9, through 11:59 p.m. EST on Wednesday, April 9. 

What makes my gift on Johnnie Day of Giving special? 

On April 9, your gift has an even bigger impact, thanks to a group of generous supporters providing challenge gifts.  

Johnnie Day of Giving gifts help your favorite areas of St. John's unlock these challenge gifts. Throughout the day, leaderboards will show progress in real-time, and challenges will enhance the fun and anticipation.

Consider setting up your own challenge or match to help us start Johnnie Day of Giving Day with lots of energy!

Can I send my gift in via the mail?

While we strongly encourage online giving, checks received by April 9, with "Johnnie Day of Giving 2025" in the memo line, will be counted toward the day’s total.
