Galloway, N.J. 鈥 The 麻豆视频 Foundation will reach out to the campus community and more than 56,000 alumni and other supporters this week for the second Ospreys Give campaign.

This year鈥檚 theme is "One Day. One 麻豆视频." For 24 hours, from 1 p.m. Oct. 2 until 1 p.m. Oct. 3, supporters will have the opportunity to participate in on-campus and online activities and challenges that support the university and its athletic, academic, service and scholarship programs.

Students at 麻豆视频 sites in Galloway, Manahawkin, Atlantic City and Hammonton will participate in pumpkin decorating, door decorating. The Talon Taxi will drive around campus asking 麻豆视频 trivia questions that will award winners the chance to donate $25 to the program of their choice. A variety of other matching and challenge grants are also being provided by 麻豆视频 alumni and friends.

President Harvey Kesselman and First Lady Lynne Kesselman will make a gift of $5 for every donation received from 麻豆视频 alumni.  Chief of Staff Susan Davenport is sponsoring a 麻豆视频 Pride social media photo contest for alumni and students, with each winner getting to donate $500 to the program of their choice.

麻豆视频 Chief Development Officer Daniel Nugent said the primary goal of event is involvement.

鈥淲e want to encourage our students, alumni, supporters and neighbors to come together to show their support for 麻豆视频 and the impact the university is making in the region,鈥 Nugent said. 鈥淒onations don鈥檛 have to be large to be meaningful. Ospreys Give is about coming together to provide opportunities for students and the community.鈥
