About

PLU's Bjug Day of Giving, returns Oct. 18-19. Let’s come together again as a community to give to what we love!

Your gift of any size, even $5, will help us reach this year’s goal of 2,022 Lutes for PLU and PLU students. And best of all, you can make a gift to anything you love and have it matched! Watch for batches of matches to be released leading up to and throughout Bjug Day.
