The 2022 Give-N-Day soared past previous fundraising records as campus organizations raised more than $256,000 from more than 1,440 donors.
The 24-hour event, held March 15, raised $256,860 from 1,445 donors to 108 campus organizations. Gifts came from a record 36 states ranging from Hawai’i to Massachusetts and a record 11 countries. The previous record for most money raised was $183,830 in 2021.
