BrooklynBull Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Today is UB Giving Day. I realize that times may be tough economically for people now. However, an anonymous donor is willing to match all donations up to a total of $15,000.00 for any donation made between noon on Wednesday and noon on Thursday made to the Intercollegiate Athletics Fund. This fund allows UB Athletics to use the funds for whatever need they feel is most urgent. If you can donate wonderful and your money will twice as far. If you are unable to donate that is not a problem and understandable with all of the issues before our country right now. https://ubgivingday.buffalo.edu/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandemic, it is in all the newspapers and they know right now is not a great time to make an ask for money. It could offend people which could have long term repercussions in getting donations.

I made a larger gift a few week's ago, not knowing that this day was going on. Whether it's on a giving day or just any day, it's a desired step in the right direction for the programs.

BrooklynBull Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 The goal was reached. The full match will be made. To those who gave thank you. It also looks like Athletics will pick up an additional $7,500.00 from President Tripathi and his wife for having the most donors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
