PVM Gets Set for Purdue Day of Giving on April 24

Last year, Purdue Day of Giving set another new record for single-day fundraising. On April 24, you can help the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine take its Next Giant Leap forward, granting opportunity to the next generation of Purdue veterinary students and expanding the College’s current programs. And it’s not just about your gift – there are many ways to be involved beyond giving, including by participating in social media challenges, attending events, sharing your Purdue pride and more.

As you consider making a donation of $10 or more on the Purdue Day of Giving, note that all gifts donated to the Dean’s Innovation Fund will support new equipment for the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, while all gifts donated to SAVMA Purdue will support new outdoor tables for student use. Of course, you may always give to your favorite College program and support what is closest to your heart. No matter how big or small the gift, every dollar raised on April 24 will help the College achieve its mission of advancing animal and human health. It is also a great opportunity to share the message about the College of Veterinary Medicine’s importance to our community, the state, and beyond.
