Remember to wear your garnet and Columbia blue Wednesday, March 9 during the Tiger Give Back, a 24-hour challenge to support the Annual Fund. Join Nashville leaders and friends of USN from a variety of industries for virtual Community Conversations throughout the day, and make a gift of $60 or more to receive the popular Vince Durnan socks commemorating the Director's final year at USN.
By Claudia Huskey, Annual Fund Director
Please save the date for the Tiger Give Back Challenge on Wednesday, March 9. This day is important for the Annual Fund, which provides critical resources for USN's highest priorities: academic programming, need-based financial aid, arts, athletics, and technology.
Over 24 hours the USN community will come together to support students, faculty, staff, and programs through gifts to the Annual Fund. All gifts made between 9 a.m. on Wednesday, March 9 and 9 a.m. on Thursday, March 10 will show the collective giving power of the USN community.
Meanwhile on campus, we'll celebrate Tiger Day as a nod to this 24 hours of giving. We encourage students, staff, and faculty to don their most spirited Tiger attire, and we hope families and alumni will sport shades of garnet and Columbia blue that day too. Additionally, we invite families to join us for virtual Community Conversations — opportunities throughout the day to hear from leaders within the Nashville community on a variety of inspiring, thought-provoking topics.
A record $100,000 in matching gifts will be unlocked throughout the day. Follow along on USN's official social media accounts, and keep an eye on your inbox for opportunities to double or even triple your gift.
Available by popular demand and exclusively during the Tiger Give Back Challenge, the coveted Director Vince Durnan socks are an optional gift for all donors who give $60 or more. The socks also are available to those who sign up for recurring gifts of $15 per month or more.
PDS and USN alumni will be competing in the Team Blue vs. Team Garnet Challenge. Alumni from even years are on Team Garnet and those who graduated in odd years are on Team Blue. Last year, Team Garnet narrowly edged out Team Blue, let’s see who ends the day at the top of the leaderboard.
Help us reach our goal of 700 donations in just 24 hours and make a difference for all USN Tigers with an Annual Fund gift during the Tiger Give Back Challenge.
