On April 29th, the Purdue community will rally together as we celebrate the 13th annual Purdue Day of Giving!
Nearly 40% of the Purdue Bands & Orchestras annual budget comes from the generosity of our alumni and friends. Purdue Day of Giving makes your gifts go even further by helping us win additional bonus funds throughout the day. By participating in hourly giving challenges and unique social media contests all day long, you can win thousands of bonus dollars for the department.
Follow along on the Purdue Bands & Orchestras Facebook page for the entire 24-hour event to participate and see the results of hourly challenges in real time.
Every gift of $10+ counts toward the Purdue Bands & Orchestras total number of gifts during various hourly challenges. You can make an even bigger impact by dividing a larger gift into multiple $10 gifts during strategic hourly challenges.
Visit https://dayofgiving.purdue.edu/organizations/purdue-bands-and-orchestras on April 29th to donate to Purdue Bands & Orchestras on Purdue Day of Giving.
