Our favorite day of the year is here! Join us this Friday, March 25, 2022, as we celebrate Slippery Rock University’s annual Giving Day.
Each spring, Rock Nation comes together to support student scholarships, clubs and organizations, academic departments, varsity sports and so much more. And each year, your generosity changes the trajectory for our students and our campus.
This year, your donations will make an even bigger impact. When you support your favorite areas on campus, you will unlock matching funds for student scholarships through the Give Greater Match.
Thank you for making SRU a priority, not only on Giving Day but as you show your Rock Pride all year long.
How to get involved:
💚 Give. Make a gift to an area of campus that is meaningful to you.
📢 Become an advocate. Share SRU Giving Day with others, offering a match or challenge gift. Tell others why you give to The Rock.
💻 Spread the word. Share with your networks #SRUGivingDay, and download our social media toolkit for official Giving Day branding and graphics!
Donations received now through March 25 will count toward our goal. Call 724-738-2004 to speak with our Giving Day team and make your donation over the phone. Or write a check out to SRU Foundation, Inc. and mail it to:
