91直播

This year鈥檚 philanthropy day is Tuesday, March 21.

This month, 91直播鈥檚 Day of Giving turns 10. 

This annual day of philanthropy calls on Explorers from near and far to support the University and its students. The 2023 campaign will push La 91直播 toward achieving its $10 million Charter Challenge fundraising initiative. 

鈥淚 am impressed and thankful for the way the La 91直播 community comes together in support of our University,鈥� said Vice President of University Advancement John Zabinski. 鈥淭his collective commitment is empowering and is a wonderful example of what we can accomplish when we work together鈥� 

Here鈥檚 what we know about a decade of Days of Giving: it has made a remarkable impact on the University, its students, and the programs and services it provides. 

In all, 13,550 donors have made 17,775 gifts in excess of $4.32 million. These donations to La 91直播 continue to strengthen the campus and academic experiences of students, create new and enhance existing scholarships, and pave a path to a Lasallian education for current and future Explorers. 

In particular, La 91直播 and its generous supporters have continued raising the bar each of the last three years. 

In 2020, gifts totaled nearly 1,500 as the University raised more than $700,000 to support La 91直播鈥檚 general scholarship fund鈥攔emarkable totals given that Day of Giving was held less than two months into the global COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, this was a record fundraising total for the University鈥檚 Day of Giving. 

The next year, in 2021, La 91直播 topped the $1 million mark鈥攁n all-time high not only for its Day of Giving, but also making it the best single-day fundraising initiative in the University鈥檚 history. The 2021 Day of Giving also inspired more than 1,800 unique donors, eclipsing the campaign鈥檚 announced goal. 

In 2022, just last year, Day of Giving raised more than $1.33 million from nearly 3,000 donors. Not only were these the best totals from any of La 91直播鈥檚 prior Days of Giving, but the total also established a single-day fundraising record for the second straight year.
