#BearsGive - Recap To Date

We've been inspired by the generosity of the Missouri State community during #BearsGive! Nearly 1,400 alumni and friends have made a gift to show their support for MSU.

There is still work to be done to hit our goal of 1,905 donors. A gift, of any amount, can help get us closer to our goal. 

Make your gift now to support students on campus today, and those who will be here tomorrow. Go Bears!

There's still time to use matching and challenge gifts to double your impact! There are matches to almost anywhere you can think of. One example is; Cat Shoults is matching gifts for the Dr. Tom Tomasi Biology Summer Research Award in honor of Dr. Tomasi. The two are pictured together below.
