C. Raymond Marvin Center for Student Leadership Student Support Fund – The C. Raymond Marvin Center for Student Leadership and Civic Engagement helps students develop lifelong leadership skills, learn to lead with integrity and empower others to get involved. Support for the center ensures leadership training opportunities to help students network, broaden their reach, excel in their missions, and create lasting positive change in the world.

BGSU Cheerleading and Dance Team Fund – The BGSU Cheer and Dance Teams play a vital role in bringing energy and excitement to Falcon Athletics. From leading the crowd at football and basketball games to representing the University at community events and competitions, these dedicated student athletes embody school spirit and pride. As ambassadors of BGSU, they enhance the game-day atmosphere, foster a sense of unity among fans, and represent the University with excellence on and off the field. Your support helps provide training, travel opportunities, and resources that allow these teams to continue inspiring Falcon fans.

President's Leadership Academy – Scholars in the Sidney A. Ribeau President’s Leadership Academy (PLA) learn and develop their leadership skills through a comprehensive leadership curriculum grounded in the ideals of servant leadership. Your support provides PLA scholars with meaningful and purposeful experiences throughout their four years as they learn and enact their leadership skills.

Pay It Forward Scholars Fund – The Pay It Forward Scholars aims to support undergraduate students whose unmet financial need may prevent them from completing their degrees. The scholarship supports recipients and fosters an appreciation and understanding of the responsibility to pay it forward.

Freddie & Frieda Falcon Fund – For more than 60 years, Freddie and Frieda Falcon have been the heart of BGSU spirit, bringing energy and excitement to campus events, athletic games and community outreach. As beloved symbols of Falcon pride, they unite students, alumni and fans in celebration of BGSU traditions. A gift to the Freddie and Frieda Support Fund ensures future mascots have the resources needed to continue this legacy, representing BGSU with passion and enthusiasm for years to come.

SICSIC – The students who serve the BGSU community through SICSIC are dedicated and passionate Falcons. With a three-year commitment, much of their student experience happens in secret behind a mask. As we reflect on all SICSIC has done to strengthen BGSU, the impact has been tremendous. Today, on BGSU One Day, make a gift to impact those students behind the mask!
