DAYTON, Ohio - The "I Love UD" campaign is in its final hours, and we hope alumni and friends continue to show and share the love for as only the Flyer Faithful can.
Throughout the month, alumni, students, friends and staff from both here on campus and across the country have participated in a variety of ways. Last week, many in our campus community did a random act of kindness for another Flyer or someone else close to them, spreading the love far beyond Brown Street.
Students submitted photos of creative porch sheets during a Porch Sheet Challenge. During "I Love UD Athletics Week," students tested their knowledge of Flyer lore in a Facebook contest and "broke up" with their T-shirts from other schools. On Valentine's Day, they traded in approximately 200 shirts from places like Xavier and Saint Louis for free "I Love UD" shirts. A student group called Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow donated these shirts from other schools to the St. Vincent de Paul homeless shelter.
As we conclude our month-long campaign, we are just shy of 2,100 gifts and inching closer to reaching our ambitious goal of attracting 2,800 gifts in 28 days. Anyone who gives today has the opportunity to receive a "I Love UD" shirt.*
Your gifts help fund scholarships, buy equipment for student-athletes and fund a host of other initiatives. Help us reach our campaign donations target by giving a gift of any size at givenow.udayton.edu. Or you can call 1-888-253-2383.
