The Purdue Day of Giving is almost here! In less than a week, you can help show our community that “We are Purdue Veterinary Medicine!”

Click here to watch this video and learn about the funds we are highlighting this year as part of the Purdue Day of Giving, and consider how you can make a difference by giving $10 or more.

You can also help by spreading the word to friends and family and by planning to help win bonus funds for Purdue Veterinary Medicine during more than 30 hourly and full-day challenges.  Some hourly challenges include:

  • 9:00 a.m. – Unit with the most gifts from faculty and staff wins $2,500
  • 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. – Student organization with the most gifts wins $1,250 each hour.  Remember that this is a great way to help SAVMA Purdue and the Veterinary Nursing Student Organization (VNSO).
  • 4:00 p.m. – Unit whose random faculty/staff gift is chosen wins $1,000
  • 8:00 p.m. – Post your most creative photo of your pet in Purdue gear on Twitter or Instagram. Include #PurdueDayofGiving and #PurdueVetMed. The unit with the best photo wins $1,500.
