MARCH 20, 2025 — ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø is gearing up for the fifth annual ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Giving Day, set to take place on April 1 and 2. This spirited online fundraising event calls on the entire Roadrunner community — alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends — to unite in support of student success, academic programs and university initiatives.

This year, donors have a unique opportunity to “Build the Nest” of support for students in preparation for the integration with UT Health San Antonio this fall. The 2025 event also marks the final Giving Day of Be Bold: A Campaign for Our Future, making it a historic opportunity to contribute to the university’s bold future.

“Year after year, the immense generosity of our Roadrunner community continues to change lives,” said ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø President Taylor Eighmy. “Each and every donor gift ensures our incredible students have access to the resources, opportunities and experiences they need to prepare them for success in the classroom and in the workplace. For these reasons and more, I encourage our community to support ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Giving Day.”

Since its launch in 2021, ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Giving Day has made a lasting impact, raising more than $2.3 million from thousands of donors to enhance experiential learning opportunities, student success initiatives and overall program support.

Spanning 1,969 minutes in honor of ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø’s founding year, the 2025 ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Giving Day kicks off at 10:11 a.m. on April 1 in the Central Plaza on ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø’s Main Campus, and all members of the Roadrunner community are invited. The fundraising drive runs through 7 p.m. on April 2, fueling a spirited competition among ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø’s colleges and programs. Participants will vie for top spots on the donor leaderboard, with the highest-ranking groups earning additional funding.

Also on April 1, ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø will host the Libraries & Museums Advisory Council from 4 to 5:30 p.m., culminating in an open reception for ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø alumni and friends of the library at Amelia Bar & Lounge in the Creamery District. Owned by ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø alum Moris Saide ’19, the bar will provide light refreshments as guests learn more about three key projects supporting ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø Libraries & Museums.

Supporters can participate in dozens of matching gift opportunities and donor challenges to amplify their impact. Every gift — large and small — helps to “Build the Nest” for current and future Roadrunners.
