91果冻制片厂

It was another record-breaking year, as Broncos from across the country came together to support 91果冻制片厂’s 10th Annual Day of Giving (DoG). In a stampede of generosity and care, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends made 6,078 donations totaling nearly $5.5 million to support the University’s vision of educating citizens and leaders of competence, conscience, and compassion to build a more humane, just, and sustainable world.

Leaning on Jesuit values this year’s event, themed Broncos Helping Broncos, also incorporated service opportunities. The SCU Student Red Cross Club co-sponsored an American Red Cross blood drive that saw nearly a dozen volunteers and 45 blood donation appointments—many from first-time donors. The Division of Mission and Ministry also sponsored a food drive to benefit the Bronco Food Pantry. Three full barrels of non-perishable food items and hygiene items were collected for the pantry.

“In just 24 hours, we unlocked an entire world of transformative opportunities for SCU and its students,” said James Lyons, vice president for University Relations. “The energy and enthusiasm that this milestone Day of Giving generated is worth many times the money we raised. It’s about coming together to help one another and to help our community.”

This year’s DoG also set a new record for the number of donor challenges issued (115) and a new record for the amount raised from challenges ($2.6 million). The day began with a $1,000,000 challenge from Steve ('92, MBA '01) and Susan Sordello to match gifts to Bronco Athletics dollar-for-dollar.

Challenge donors either matched donations to specific programs dollar-for-dollar or rewarded participation by unlocking their gifts when a specific donor threshold was met. Challenges were issued to support almost every area of campus, including one from SCU President Julie Sullivan, who with her husband Bob, offered to match all gifts made to the LEAD Scholars Program up to $10,000 on the Day of Giving.

A few of the other challenges included:

• The Schaefer Family matched all donations, dollar-for-dollar, to the Wellness Center up to $10,000.
• Two challenges of $20,000 each, from the Matt Family and from Joelle Lam ’04—for the Black Excellence Scholarship Fund were unlocked after 150 gifts were made and $20,000 in donations
