Celebrate a Decade of Braves Leading the Way

This year marks our tenth annual Day of Giving and we are celebrating both the old and the new!

  • Share your support in style with this year's freshly designed Bradley socks that are available to those who make a gift of $25 or more!
  • Create a greater impact this year thanks to the Zaleski Family! They are challenging Braves everywhere to match their love for Bradley by offering $100,000 that can double, or even triple, the impact of gifts made for the Day of Giving.
  • Set up a recurring $10 monthly gift to celebrate 10 years of Braves coming together on the Day of Giving.
  • First 1,000 gifts will receive a MAGNET-ificent giveaway!

The Latest Day of Giving Updates
Make the Most of Your Generosity!

As you make your gift for the 2025 Day of Giving, please consider becoming a Lydia Moss Bradley Society (LMBS) member. 

The watchwords of the society are “What Would Mrs. Bradley Do?”. These words help guide us all as we look for ways to maximize the impact of our donations. Unrestricted giving was at the forefront of her philanthropical approach. She understood that providing the University the ability to use funds for any purpose was a powerful tool. Today, we emulate her philosophy by modeling the LMBS in the same way. 

Your unrestricted gift by becoming a Society member allows the spirit of Mrs. Bradley to live on today as you, like she, pay it forward for the next generation. Please take a walk with me in the footsteps of Lydia Moss Bradley by joining the Society created in her name.

- Don Sidlowski ’79, National Chair of the Lydia Moss Bradley Society
