NC State Day of Giving 2024
The Park Scholarships program appreciates each and every gift from our community. So why give on Day of Giving? Day of Giving gets at the competitive side of the Wolfpack. Every gift helps us compete for a bonus through three different leaderboards or one of our many challenges throughout the day. Even for smaller units like ours, challenges can be a way to win additional funds from the University that will have a direct impact on Park Scholars.
Your participation in Day of Giving has an extraordinary and direct impact on our Park Scholars. Your gifts help fund:
- Scholarships – the costs of receiving a world-class NC State education
- Enrichment opportunities – Park Enrichment Grants, retreats, guest speakers, and more
- Engagement with NC State’s outstanding faculty
NC State Day of Giving is an annual, university-wide fundraising event. For 24 hours, the Wolfpack community comes together to support our students and demonstrate the strength of the Pack. Funds raised create sustaining scholarships, invest in inclusion efforts, and promote diversity and enrichment.
The Park Scholarships program has led the pack on each Day of Giving, raising critical funds for scholarships, diversity and inclusion work, and enrichment.
Whether you are making a gift or participating in challenges, there are many opportunities to get involved and support Park Scholars now and for years to come. If you have questions about supporting Park Scholarships, contact Danielle Romanello.
