Welcome to the 24-Hour Challenge, Rice’s biggest giving day of the year!
This is our opportunity to unite as one community, rally behind today’s Owls, and ensure the programs, activities and traditions that make Rice special continue to thrive.
Drs. Albert and Cheryl Cha (P'25, P'28), Amy Sutton '89 '90 and Gary Chiles '86, and Huipin Zhang Ph.D. '00 are challenging you to be one of 6,500 donors for Rice. If we meet our goal, they will generously donate a total of $650,000 to the university!
Today's gifts, no matter their size or designation, will have an amplified impact thanks to many remarkable sub-challenges and matching gifts put forth by the Rice community.
If you have any questions, please reach out to giving@rice.edu or call 713-348-4991.

17 days ago by Shelby CarterWow, Hanszen College and Baker College are absolutely crushing it! 💪 But the race isn’t over yet — your residential college can still claim part of the $10,000 bonus by landing in the top five finishers. Remember: participation is the goal, not dollar amount. Every gift is one step closer to victory!
