Boxer Giving Day 2025 proved once again that when Boxers come together, amazing things happen! Over 36 hours, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends came together to show their Boxer Spirit, making 820 gifts and raising an incredible $263,386.37 to support scholarships, programs, and opportunities that help students thrive.
Together, we also raised an incredible $115,787.15 for the Boxer Spirit Fund, which provides essential support to students and helps offset tuition costs so our students can thrive at ½ðɳÓéÀÖ.
But that’s not all—we also unlocked an astounding $113,000 in challenge funds! Thanks to generous donors who stepped up with challenge gifts, every donation went even further.
From scholarships that make education more accessible to programs that enhance the student experience, these funds will make a real difference in the lives of ½ðɳÓéÀÖ students. Whether you gave, shared, or cheered us on, thank you for being part of this movement!
While Boxer Giving Day may be over (until next year), the impact of our community's generosity will be felt for years to come.
