鶹ƵUniversity’s 24-hour day of giving, is tomorrow, Oct. 25. With Otto leading the mission, the goal of Boost the ’Cuse II is to inspire at least 5,000 alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends to make a gift to SU.

Students, faculty and staff members are invited to the Shaw Quad to make a gift and celebrate what promises to be an extraordinary day for 鶹ƵUniversity.

Here’s the Quad schedule:

10 a.m. Coffee and donuts
11 a.m. Cash grab challenge (supported by the Generation Orange Leadership Council)
Noon Selfies with Pete Sala
1 p.m. Student performances
2 p.m. Cake, cookies and hot chocolate bar

Our tent on the Quad will also be buzzing from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday evening before the 鶹ƵMen’s Basketball game. Stop by any time.

Members of the 鶹Ƶcommunity have three ways to give on Thursday:

Online: Make your gift at

By phone: Call 315.443.1848 or watch for a call from one of our student callers.

In person: Visit the tent on the Quad, or visit the tables in the schools, colleges and Bird Library.

Thanks to the generosity of 鶹ƵUniversity’s school, college and unit boards, over $700,000 in challenge funds are available. Donors who support specific areas will unlock challenge funds that will go towards scholarships, the deans’ funds, and the Annual Fund. Challenges are detailed at

Also, across the country, several alumni clubs will be hosting to celebrate alumni philanthropy.

Don’t Miss a Minute

All members of the 鶹ƵUniversity community are invited to track progress throughout the day at Additionally, look for the nine-foot rocket on the Quad, which will represent our progress during the day.

Together, we’ll send 鶹Ƶto new heights on Thursday!
