Purdue Day of Giving April 30 is Day for Sharing Purdue and Pet Pride

Next week brings a unique opportunity to combine Purdue Pride with your pride in your pet to help advance the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. During the annual Purdue Day of Giving Wednesday, April 30, there will be opportunities to help promote and suppport the college through participation in social media challenges in addition to giving.

Purdue Day of Giving is the annual 24-hour online fundraising event that brings together the entire Purdue community to support various campus units and initiatives, including areas within the College of Veterinary Medicine. In particular, you have the chance that evening between 8:00 and 8:59 to take part in a social media challenge that involves posting a creative photo of your pet in Purdue gear on Instagram or Twitter. Use #PurdueDayofGiving and #PurdueVetMed, and make sure to tag @pucvm! By having your photo chosen as the most creative picture of a pet in Purdue gear, you can help the college win bonus funds!

Also plan to start the day that morning by joining Dean Bret Marsh for coffee and donuts in LYNN 1192 between 9:00 and 10:00, during the Staff and Faculty Giving Challenge Hour. That’s when PVM faculty and staff are invited to make a gift to help the college win as the unit with the most gifts from faculty/staff donors. Whether then or at any other time on the Purdue Day of Giving, you can easily start, renew or enhance your giving to the college and its programs.
