About

Boxer Giving Day Comes to Pacific University on April 27 & 28

Get ready to help knock down barriers to education!

 

Boxer Giving Day is an important way for the Boxer community to make an impact on student success at Pacific University.

Gifts made during our 36-hour event provide scholarships for students from all backgrounds, as well as resources to Pacific’s areas of greatest need.

Your gift, combined with others, helps Pacific create opportunities for learning, research and community engagement. With your help, Pacific is shaping the next generation of teachers, healthcare professionals and business leaders in our communities.

MAKE YOUR GIFT COUNT. Make a gift, or create a matching gift for others. When we reach our donor goal of 550, we can unlock a $25,000 challenge from a generous supporter.

BE AN ADVOCATE. Be an Advocate and share your Boxer Spirit with others.

TRACK YOUR ADVOCACY. View your personal plea video, sharing buttons, your click- and gift-tracking and other impacts of your Advocacy. Pacific succeeds when Advocates reach out personally to friends.

Your participation is key to our success!

Thanks to this amazing Pacific community, we demolished our goal! We are thrilled to share the preliminary results from this year's Boxer Giving Day while gifts are still coming in!  We had over 650 donors come together in support of current and future Boxers! Together, Boxers and friends have given over $225,000! Thank you for showing up and supporting our students, our colleges, and the programs and funds that mean so much to you.  We couldn't have done it without you! 😍

There are still a few hours left to support Pacific students!

Our success is about participation. It's the number of people who give, not the dollar amount. Every single gift counts. Each gift makes a difference to a student studying at Pacific. Thank you all so much for your support!

Your gift to the Pacific Excellence Fund creates access to the Boxer experience and more


Thanks in part to the Pacific Excellence Fund, Pacific students are able to thrive in an intimate setting, receive hands-on experience and make a positive impact on their community and beyond.

Scholarships and financial aid are the  #1 use of gifts to the Pacific Excellence Fund, helping to make the Pacific experience affordable and accessible for generations of students to come. 

Please consider a 🎁 to the Pacific Excellence Fund today!

Matches and challenges make IMPACT a stroll in the park!


Your gift can help more students if you make it a match or challenge. Check out the matches and challenges on the site now, or make one of your own. It's easy! Here's how:

Matches are made on a per donor basis and can double your impact.

For example: I will match up to $500 on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the next $500 that is donated.

Challenges are milestone-based and can have an even larger impact on giving.

For example: If 50 people make a gift, I will give $500.

Either way, you are helping more students by inspiring others to give to your favorite Fund on the Leaderboard!
