About

Thank you! 

SRU Giving Day 2023 has been one for the record books.  Thank you to everyone who participated.  Making a gift, sharing the #SRUGivingDay news with your friends and family, and uploading you sweet SRU videos to social media - we loved it all! 

Everyone who made a donation to #SRUGivingDay before 11:59pm on March 24, 2023 will be entered into a drawing for a signed Jeff Carter Penguin's jersey.  We'll be posting the winner right here on Monday, March 27.  Stay tuned and good luck to all of our qualifying donors!
