About

Our first DC DAY OF GIVING is an inspiring 24-hour event for alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends to come together to support Defiance College. This is your opportunity to make your annual gift and have an impact at Defiance College. With your support, every student today will have the life-changing education, experiences and opportunities that shaped your future when you were a DC student.

This special 24-hour event is also a means of making students aware of the important connection to our DC alumni and alumnae, whose contributions are helping them defy the ordinary every day!

DC Day of Giving is just under halfway to our goal!  Professor Shay Pursel had her business class volunteer to make some calls to alumni, and the students had a great response.  The campus support and enthusiasm is exciting to see. Thank you to all our donors and volunteers!

Good morning!   DC's first Day of Giving is off to a great start!  We hit 11% of our goal before most of us have had our second cup of coffee!  Thank you to our earliest contributors.  We look forward to seeing who joins them as the day progresses.  Remember to let your friends know that you're supporting the DC Day of Giving and encourage them to join you!
