That's a wrap on Love Blue Give Gold 2026 — and what an incredible outpouring of Topper Pride it's been!
To everyone who gave, spread the word, rallied friends and classmates, or cheered us on along the way: thank you for making this year's LBGG one for the books.
Year after year, Hilltoppers come together to celebrate the people, programs, and experiences they love most. And this year, you took that tradition to extraordinary new heights!
We're so grateful for the love you've shown our Hilltop community.
Stay gold! ✨

10 days ago by The St. Edward's FundFor all the ways we #LoveBlue, we #GiveGold.
Our Hilltop's annual community-driven crowdfunding tradition is back and better than ever. Since its first launch in 2014, Love Blue Give Gold (#LBGG) has become a crucial source of support for many beloved campus programs and departments. It's two exciting days of on-demand events, fresh Hilltop swag, and new ways to celebrate our Topper Pride together.
#LoveBlueGiveGold wraps up on October 14 at 11:59 p.m. CT this year, which means you still have time to join our online activities, become a GiveCampus advocate, make your gift, and earn special St. Ed's swag. Every donor matters, and every dollar makes a difference! We hope you'll give whatever you can to support a Hilltop tradition that's meaningful to you.
