You’re Invited to Celebrate One Day for Orange

Each year, Syracuse University’s Giving Day is a time for our global Orange community to unite, support our University and demonstrate our unwavering Syracuse spirit.

This year’s Giving Day occurs on Wednesday, March 27. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to participate in this exciting day and send a powerful message of support for our dedicated students. We can’t do it without you!

Below is a list of all the ways you can get involved through our on-campus activities:

• Kayla Burton G’19 will broadcast LIVE from the JMA Wireless Dome
  • Tune in starting at 9 a.m. when ESPN college football reporter Kayla Burton G’19 hosts three live shows from campus to showcase some of the best of Syracuse University. If you’re local, you can watch the show in person at the JMA Dome (enter through Stadium Control). View the broadcast schedule to see the full list of interviews, prerecorded videos and student performances.
• Free iced coffee and swag
  • Stop by the Schine Student Center from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and make a $5 gift to the Annual Fund, then fill your color-changing stadium cup with iced coffee! Visit select locations for treats and merch while supplies last. View the full list of events to plan your day.
• Find Otto!
  • Locate one of 10 small plush Ottos hidden around campus. Check for clues at 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Be the first to find an Otto to win a prize pack! For each Otto discovered, $100 will be donated to a fund of your choice on behalf of the Generation Orange Leadership Council and the Syracuse University Alumni Association. Plus, that donation will be matched with another $100 by the Chancellor Challenge, meaning each Otto is worth $200.
• Get loud!
  • Cheer on our women’s lacrosse team vs. Loyola Maryland at 4 p.m. inside the JMA Dome.
• Visit the Student Organization Showcase
  • Learn more about select student organizations on campus from 5-7 p.m. on the JMA Dome’s concourse (use Gate A). Participate in the Giving Power Hour from 5:30-6:30 p.m. to help the organizations with the most unique donors receive extra challenge dollars!
• Support the part of campus that’s important to you
  • Syracuse Giving Day empowers you to support any area that resonates with you, whether it’s a specific school, college or program. Unlock challenge dollars to make your gift go even further. Compete with other groups on the leaderboards. Your generosity can make a significant impact and help students achieve their goals.
• Celebrate ’Cuse!
  • As the day comes to an end, we’ll join together to toast Syracuse University in the JMA Dome with Orange mocktails at 11:44 p.m. The festivities continue on Thursday, March 28 in the Schine Student Center with the Forever Orange Celebration featuring cupcakes, musical performances and more fun activities, plus an appearance by Otto! Hosted by the Office of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving in partnership with Student Engagement.

Your involvement in Syracuse Giving Day combines with others from around the globe to make a tremendous collective impact. It’s time to show the world what Orange can do, together!
