This week, Knight Nation showed the incredible power of what we can achieve when we come together in support of a shared philanthropic mission. Thank you to everyone who participated \u2014 your generous investment is shaping the future of our university, our students and our community.<\/p>\n

Thousands of you came together to support the programs and the people who matter most. Your investment in the future of 麻豆原创 fuels innovation, supports student success and moves us closer to unleashing the potential of our students. During this special 24-hour event, you helped raise more than $14.8<\/strong> million<\/strong> for your university. That\u2019s more than any previous 麻豆原创 Day of Giving<\/a> and a 63% increase<\/strong> from last year. We are deeply grateful for the Black & Gold community and for your unwavering support.<\/p>\n

Continue to Help 麻豆原创 Unleash the Potential of Our Knights.<\/h3>\n

The contributions made today reflect a shared commitment to building a stronger community, expanding access through scholarships, supporting our student-athletes, advancing cutting-edge learning facilities, fueling research and strengthening 麻豆原创\u2019s global reputation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incredible success of this year\u2019s 麻豆原创 Day of Giving speaks to the extraordinary pride in our university and the exciting future we are inventing together,\u201d says 麻豆原创 President Alexander N. Cartwright. \u201cWe are thankful for the generosity of our alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents, partners and the community. These gifts will drive our excellence, support student success, advance exploration and discovery, and unleash potential across our university.\u201d<\/p>\n

Celebration of Black & Gold Community<\/h3>\n

By making 10,472<\/strong> gifts<\/strong>, inspired donors across the globe rallied together for the community-driven effort \u2014 supporting the university and areas that aim to empower Knights and solve the world\u2019s most significant challenges. These contributions were made across all 50 U.S. states, as well as globally including Australia, France, Panama and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

\u201c麻豆原创 Day of Giving is Knight Nation\u2019s single largest day of collective impact,\u201d says Rodney Grabowski, senior vice president for Advancement and Partnerships and CEO of the 麻豆原创 Foundation. \u201cIt\u2019s about providing our students an attainable, high-quality education; emboldening the country\u2019s leading researchers to innovate and revolutionize; and challenging what we know today to explore what we\u2019ll discover tomorrow. Your support is the catalyst for all this and more.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Time to Get Involved<\/h3>\n

Knights across the country and around the world came together to support dozens of virtual challenges. From friendly competition to mission-inspired giving, these hourly challenges kept people engaged and excited to support the causes close to their hearts. Real-time leaderboards on the 麻豆原创 Day of Giving website kept the momentum going all day. Among the top colleges and units by participation were the College of Arts and Humanities, 麻豆原创 Athletics, Student Success and Well-Being, College of Sciences, College of Nursing and College of Health Professions and Sciences.<\/p>\n

Participating in these events not only reinforces the importance of philanthropy for Knights, but also sparks meaningful conversations about how their engagement \u2014 not just their gifts \u2014 can create a powerful impact at 麻豆原创, one that extends far beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n

One student who has benefited from this generosity is Faith Kidwell, a freshman in her second semester at 麻豆原创 and the first scholarship recipient of the Taking Flight Foundation Scholarship Fund<\/a>. This scholarship, established on 麻豆原创 Day of Giving 2024 by alumnus and entrepreneur Mark Norato \u201991<\/strong>, provides $25,000 for an incoming freshman<\/a> from a single-parent household and covers all educational expenses for a student\u2019s first year, including tuition, housing, textbooks, extracurricular activities and more.<\/p>\n

The scholarship, Kidwell says, has impacted her life in ways she could have never imagined. A music education<\/a>major and tuba player in the Marching Knights<\/a>, she\u2019s grateful that she can now focus on her studies, without having to worry about finances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I didn\u2019t have this [scholarship],\u201d she says, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be able to do the brass band outside of 麻豆原创. I wouldn\u2019t be able to do the mentorship program with a prominent international brass conference. I wouldn\u2019t be able to do school observations or work with students on Sundays. There\u2019s so much I wouldn\u2019t be able to do, and I\u2019m so incredibly thankful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pushing Past Your Limits<\/h3>\n

Raised in a small town in Florida by two public school educators, Heather Pigman \u201994 <\/strong>had only two criteria as she surveyed her college prospects \u2014 it had to be an in-state school to accommodate her full-ride scholarship, and it had to be somewhere that offered more opportunity than her beach town upbringing.<\/p>\n

At that time, legacy universities in very small towns were really the only well-known game in town. But when a friend shared their plans to attend 麻豆原创 in Orlando, Pigman took note. She used her time at 麻豆原创 to explore the different career paths available to her. It was a guest lecture featuring a group of lawyers that finally guided her toward practicing law.<\/p>\n

Today, Pigman is a sought-after attorney with Hollingsworth LLP in Washington, D.C. And while she continues to carry that renegade spirit forth through her work, she has felt a calling to support the next generation of barrier breakers through her alma mater.<\/p>\n

This 麻豆原创 Day of Giving, she\u2019s committed a new gift of nearly $1 million to student scholarships<\/a>, as well as student development and experiential learning services, through the Collins\/Pigman Family Endowed Scholarship and the Experiential Learning Fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents believed that education changes lives \u2014 especially because it changed their<\/em> lives. These scholarships are my way of paying it forward,\u201d Pigman says.<\/p>\n

Supporting Student-Athletes<\/h3>\n

In advance of 麻豆原创 Day of Giving on April 10, the Frost family made a generous $500,000 commitment to 麻豆原创 Athletics\u2019 newly launched Competitive Success Fund<\/a>. This transformational gift from 麻豆原创 head football coach Scott Frost<\/a> and his wife, Ashley, will directly enhance 麻豆原创\u2019s ability to recruit, retain and develop student-athletes as they compete at the highest levels.<\/p>\n

The Competitive Success Fund, part of the ChargeOn Fund, serves as a crucial initiative to strengthen 麻豆原创 Athletics\u2019 commitment to student-athlete excellence. The fund is designed to support revenue sharing efforts, bolster scholarship opportunities and elevate the overall competitiveness of 麻豆原创\u2019s athletic programs. The Frost Family\u2019s contribution to the Competitive Success Fund<\/a> is a testament to the lasting impact of the 麻豆原创 experience and the collective effort to propel the Knights forward in this new era of college athletics.<\/p>\n

Pending final approval of the House Settlement, beginning July 1, 2025, universities will be permitted to share revenue directly with student-athletes. 麻豆原创\u2019s Competitive Success Fund is a proactive measure to ensure that the department is prepared to support its student-athletes at the highest level as college athletics continues to evolve.<\/p>\n

The Competitive Success Fund plays a critical role in advancing 麻豆原创\u2019s Mission XII<\/a> initiative. For more information on how to support 麻豆原创 Athletics through the Competitive Success Fund, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
