Knox Proud Days is Knox College’s annual Days of Giving.
This year, from May 1 at noon to May 3 at noon, the entire Knox community—alumni, families, faculty, staff, students, and friends—comes together to support students and celebrate the even greater impact we can have through our collective giving.
When you give to the Knox Fund, the annual fund that supports the full Knox experience, your support has an immediate impact and provides flexibility to continue supporting the greatest needs now and respond to new and emerging opportunities.
Make your impact in an area you are passionate about:
- Scholarships that open doors
- Faculty and academics that challenge and inspire
- Athletics and clubs that build leadership and community
- Immersive opportunities like research, internships, and study abroad
- Area of greatest need to ensure students have what they need to succeed every day
We Venture Boldly when we give together. We are #knoxproud!
