About


A Day to Dream. A Lifetime to Achieve.

Rollins Giving Day is more than a 24-hour fundraising event—it’s a celebration of the dreams we share and the lives we transform together.

This year, we invite alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends to join us in making dreams come true for our Tars. Every gift—no matter the amount—brings new opportunities, fuels innovation, and supports the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.

Together, let’s achieve our goal of 1,000 donors and unlock more than $240,000 in challenge funding!

Spread the word, rally your networks, and be part of the collective impact. Visit our social media toolkit and inspire others to dream big with us!
