PLU Bjug Day of Giving
Give to What You Love!
Join Lutes all over the world on PLU’s Bjug Day of Giving! Bjug Day is a fun, philanthropic tradition during which PLU alumni and friends come together to celebrate and support what they love about PLU.
During the 2019 Bjug Day, thanks to a generous group of donors, you can make a gift to anything you love at PLU and have it matched with a gift to student scholarships.
With your gift of any size to any area of PLU, you can make the 2019 Bjug Day bigger and better than ever before, providing more support for more students and cross-campus causes!
Here are 3 ways you can share the Bjug Day love:
- Give to anything you love at PLU and have your gift matched to scholarships.
- Post on social media (check out our SociaLute Resources web page for more information!)
- Inspire your friends to show their love for PLU! Get started by clicking on the ‘Offer a Challenge’ or "Offer a Match" buttons.
