❤️ Kind hearts count ❤️
Inspired by National Acts of Kindness Day, BowdoinOne Day 2023 is so big it can't be contained in a single day! We will go all out on campus to encourage acts of kindness and promote gifts to Bowdoin that pay it forward. Follow along on this page and on social media. The goal is to inspire 2,047 people to make gifts - representing one gift for every student enrolled at the College. We can't wait to count you among the kind hearts of Bowdoin.
Our volunteer leadership has selected three recipients from our “Recognize Kindness” wall:
Carmen Greenlee, Humanities and Media Librarian
Lisa Rendall, Director of Residential and Housing Operations
Anne Springer '81, P'11, Senior Associate Dean of Admissions
Stay tuned to see how the College surprises them with kindness this spring!
Thank you to Awa Diaw '11, President of the Alumni Council, Kristin Pollock '04, Chair of the BRAVO National Advisory Board, and Matt Ramos '12, Chair of the Alumni Fund Directors for hard task of selecting three entries.

WE DID IT! 🙌🎉🥳
Together, we crushed the goal while spreading kindness across the Polar Bear community. Thank you for making this year's BowdoinOne Day the best yet 🤍🖤
Stay tuned to learn who will receive a surprise act of kindness from the College in the coming weeks AND to learn our final numbers and how much we unlocked from our anonymous donors (we're counting mail through early next week).

After BowdoinOne day, three Polar Bears will be selected from the Kindness Wall to receive a surprise act of kindness from the College! 💖
Have you checked out the alumni class leaderboard yet? The Class of 2013 held the record for the most donors by class for many years until 2012 took them out last year. This year, they're competing for spots 🥇 and 🥈 again. Who will take the lead??
There's still time for YOUR class to sneak up and earn bragging rights for the year!
Several anonymous donors have joined forces to issue their own act of kindness to you for BowdoinOne Day:
Your gift by Noon EST on 2/17 = $100 unlocked!
2,500 donors will unlock the entire $250,000—WE CAN DO THIS! 💪 The donors have agreed to extend the challenge to everyone who’s already supported BowdoinOne Day 🥳
Today's the BIG day and we're already off to a great start! 💪 More than 20 campus partners are joining in the fun - spreading kindness from Smith Union to Coles Tower and beyond!
