About

1886 Minutes. 250 Donors. April 29th-30th.

In honor of John Carroll University’s founding in 1886, we need the entire JCU community—current students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends—to join together in support of current and future Blue Streaks! Beginning at 4:33 pm on April 29th, our challenge is to rally at least 250 donors to give by 11:59 pm on April 30, 2019.

The JCU Athletics Day of Giving challenge is a special part of JCU Day of Giving. Gifts to JCU Athletics Day of Giving will count towards the overall JCU Day of Giving total. 

How to get involved:

Make an online gift—any amount—to John Carroll University during the 1886-minute campaign. The Athletics Fund, every team, and the Blue Gold Club are all available funds to support. Challenge your teammates to give. Set up a matching donation or challenge gift to encourage everyone to give. Sign up to be an Advocate, and spread the word through social media that you #GiveLikeAFounder!

Become an Advocate!
