I think today and tomorrow are the only planned days this year. Of course the Advancement Office will tell you EVERY Day is a Giving Day and would be glad to take your gift anytime you like!  |

Crucis, do you know how many giving days we have this year? Beyond this weekend, I am not aware of additional designated giving days. I will find out tomorrow while on campus the plan for the remaining fiscal year. |

Just under 12 hours left. 6,275 Donors $2,925,958 Donated Blew past the donor target in about 21 hours but momentum from yesterday seems to have slowed. If you havent given but intend to any time between now and the end of the fiscal year (June 30) may as well give something today to help set a record! Help support the team(s) of your choice. give.holycross.edu/power-of-purple-2024/?a=7428285 |

The top program in terms of $ raised was men’s lax with $240,000 from 181 donors - no other team remotely close - this gives a clear mandate that the school has to get cracking on getting this program on the upswing (football and men’s bball both raised about $50k)

Does anyone recall what was raised for football on last year’s giving day ?
Contributors to football( and possibly men’s hoops) N.I.L $$ could have put their $$ there instead of the CAF.
If so, not an ideal situation.

These results need to be reviewed.... the football numbers are way off. Multiple donors are not on the list. Three members of my family are not included and cannot be found anywhere else, yet they received thankyou notes from the campaign people. Is it that hard to put donors on the correct funds ?? Many former football players are on the general fund list and not the football donors list.....

Did those players specify where the $$ were to go?
I made my donation via my Fidelity Giving Account not realizing that I should have emailed the fund to say the donation was coming. I’ve done so now and I’m sure others have made the same oversight——so totals will likely go up a little as this week’s mail or wire transfers occur

I'm willing to bet they didn't properly select where to donate. Or they clicked a link on donate to football but didn't update the drop down on the payment page.

If so, not an ideal situation. I think that is is also possible that donors who are associated with certain teams might have simply decided to make gifts to the College generally or for some other purpose such as financial aid. I did that this time. Am I correct that in some years there has been a separate fundraising day for the CAF with gifts designated to certain teams if the donor wants? Is that happening this year? |

This information was stated regarding the giving days, this past weekend….
Is Holy Cross Giving Day different from Athletics Giving Day?
No, this year, the College Giving Day and Athletics Giving Day are one and the same. So whether you wish to support the Holy Cross Fund, Crusader Athletics, your favorite teams, or all of the above, February 9-10 is the time to make your gift.

Many former football players are on the general fund list and not the football donors list..... If someone intended to designate their money for a particular sport / activity / purpose, and that gift is not recorded as such, I would contact Christene Riendeau, or Cara Abraham. See their emails below. www.holycross.edu/alumni/contact-us |

The big thing about the giving day is that many people made some sort of match or challenge For example, John Young '94 was going to give $10 000 if 100 people donated to basketball. (don't know if he gave $100 for everyone that donated up to $100) They announced at the musical, there was a theater arts match as well |

I will note that I very recently read or heard that less than 0.1 percent of the HC endowment is restricted to athletics; i.e., the value cited was under $1 million.
