Color It Purple 2021 has wrapped! If you would still like to make a gift, please visit our secure online giving page on the Cornell Alumni Website.
If the last 12 months have taught us anything, we have learned that we are a resilient community committed to the success of our students, no matter what comes our way! Color It Purple is your opportunity to rally, connect, and support Cornell—plus it is so much fun!
Whether you’re on campus, states away, or halfway around the world, YOU can make a difference here on the Hilltop. Your gift of any size helps fund student scholarships, experiential learning opportunities, student support, athletic programs, academic departments, the library, and more. Our students need YOU to help provide an exceptional Hilltop experience.
The generosity of our alumni and friends will provide opportunities to have your gift DOUBLED or even TRIPLED through challenges and matches.
The fun goes far beyond this campaign page... Follow our Cornell College Alumni and Friends Facebook page and Instagram account for fun contests and live updates all day!
Even after achieving our goal of 650 donors, Cornellians near and far have continued to give, care, and share in BIG ways!! In the last few hours we unlocked these generous matches:
🥂 Happy Hour Match
🌙 Night Owl Match
BUT the day is not over! All gifts made before midnight Hilltop Time count toward our Color It Purple totals! ...and we have yet to color the entire map of the U.S. PURPLE! We still need donors from North Dakota, Mississippi, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Delaware to fill the map:
