The 1896 Challenge honors the year South Carolina State University was founded and celebrates the enduring spirit of Bulldog Tenacity. This annual giving campaign brings together Loyal Sons and Daughters, faculty, staff, students, and friends in support of the Bulldog Annual Fund, which provides flexible support for our students and the University’s greatest needs.
Every gift makes an immediate and lasting impact. Your support helps open doors, create opportunities, strengthen the student experience, and invest in the next generation of SC State leaders.
As Bulldog Nation comes together for another unforgettable Homecoming, this year we’re taking it back to where your SC State story began with the Rep Your Dorm Challenge.
REP YOUR DORM!
Where did your SC State story begin?
Mays? Bethea? Nix? Bradham? Lowman? Manning? Or maybe you lived off campus?
Make your 1896 Challenge gift and represent the place you called home during your freshman year. Then see which residence hall rises to the top!
With more than 30,000 alumni and countless supporters worldwide, imagine the impact we can make when Bulldog Nation comes together in support of student success.
Give $18.96 or more. The amount is up to you. The impact belongs to all of us.
REP YOUR DORM. SHOW YOUR BULLDOG PRIDE. SUPPORT STUDENT SUCCESS.
Manning Hall is holding the No. 1 spot, but there’s still time to shake up the leaderboard!
Mays I, Mays II, Mitchell, Miller, Nix, Russell Street Inn, University Village and Williams...where are you? 👀
And what about our students, parents, friends and Bulldog Chamber? We’re looking for you, too!
Rep your hall. Rep your area. Make your move.
Give today at 1896Challenge.com.
