3.21GIVE

Alumni, families and friends of the University came together on Monday, March 21, for the 8th annual day of giving, known as 3.21GIVE. From 224 donors, $102,104 was raised for student success programs, scholarships and academic priorities. Approximately 21 percent of those donors gave their first gift to the University during the event.

“Thank you to the hundreds of Saints who gave back to support current students,” said Katie Wojke, interim vice president of institutional advancement. “3.21GIVE has grown to be an event many look forward to throughout the year as their opportunity to give back to Saint Martin’s in the ways that mean to the most to them; we are so thankful.”

3.21GIVE is a 24-hour, online day of giving where alumni, families, friends and corporate sponsors support the areas at Saint Martin’s that mean the most to them. The focus of the event is growing participation in giving among our community, not the amount of a gift.

This year, two legacy funds were established to honor retiring University leaders:

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Fund was established by President Roy and Kathleen Heynderickx. The DEI Fund was created to promote diversity, equity and inclusion through student scholarships and programming as one of their lasting legacies.

The Grisham Legacy Fund was established to honor Bob Grisham, longtime Saint Martin’s Athletic Director. Bob had a profound impact on expanding the athletic programs of Saint Martin’s University and on the experiences of hundreds of student-athletes. This fund will be used to support an athletics project/purpose of Bob’s choosing.

Gifts are not limited to 3.21GIVE. If you would still like to make a gift, please visit www.stmartin.edu/giving.
