2025 Day of Giving

On April 23rd, let's stampede with a mission! 

Bronco family, this Day of Giving, let's make it our mission to support our students and our community. Whether you give financially, donate blood on campus, or contribute food to the Bronco Food Pantry, you'll be sustaining our cherished tradition of giving back while strengthening our community. 

On April 23rd, support over 400 student-centered funds that broaden SCU's reach on a global scale, expand opportunities for all talented students, and foster belonging and community on our campus.  On Day of Giving, give, share, and see your impact grow all day long.
