One Day, One Dayton
Plan to Give — April 14, 2021
MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR UD. MAKE YOUR GIFT APRIL 14.
Stay tuned to this website, your email and your favorite social media accounts to be ready to celebrate One Day, One Dayton with your Flyer family and friends.
One Day, One Dayton is a 24-hour giving effort to support the success of current and future Flyers. You can give any amount to any area including funds for scholarships, hands-on experiences, and student and faculty research. Or you could support programs and organizations that impact our students’ physical, mental and spiritual health. You can choose any area at UD that you are passionate about. The key is deciding where you want to make your impact, and then making your gift April 14.
Our goal is to reach 3,700 donors to UD in a single day. It's an opportunity to join in community to shine a unified light on the University and our students as we continue to learn, lead and serve for the benefit of us all.
