It鈥檚 time to give and #WeAreSouthProud will be the theme for the energized inaugural 24-hour 鈥淕iving Day鈥 fundraising campaign at the University of South Alabama.

The 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Office of Development is asking everyone to make their online gifts from 12 a.m.-11:59 p.m. on Thursday, March 22, via the South Alabama website at www.southalabama.edu/giveday.

鈥淲e are going to bring everyone together for one day of giving. It鈥檚 going to be powerful and meaningful for South,鈥 noted Margaret Sullivan, vice president for development and alumni relations. 鈥淩aising money for the University is the obvious point of having this event. But, more importantly, we want everyone to participate and give whatever they can. It could be $5, $500 or $5,000 or more. We invite everyone to give on this one day to support South Alabama.鈥

All 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 campuses will participate, including the main campus, Baldwin County campus and 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Health, including the 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Physicians Group, 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Medical Center, 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Children鈥檚 & Women鈥檚 Hospital and the 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 Mitchell Cancer Institute.

"We are all, regardless of what jobs we do, working together to elevate the University," said Dr. Tony Waldrop, University president. "This day of giving is a way for you to share your support of 新加坡六合彩开奖资料 by giving to something at the University that is important to you."

When making the desired gifts, donors will be able to choose and give to the following four areas:

  • Student Success
  • Excellence in Health Care
  • 新加坡六合彩开奖资料
  • MacQueen Alumni Center

The vice president of the Student Government Association at South and a recipient of several scholarships, biomedical sciences major Elizabeth Hernandez of Hayden, Ala., fully understands the need for a day of giving.

鈥淕iving to South is important because we are a quickly growing university that provides quality to many,鈥 she said. 鈥淏y sacrificing a cup of coffee today, your donation of $5 could be matched and potentially provide scholarship opportunities to students here at South Alabama.鈥

Hernandez is currently a Whiddon Honors Scholar, and she received the Graciela G. Blanco Scholarship from the modern and classical languages and literature department in the College of Arts and Sciences, the Dr. James W. Green Pre-Med Scholarship and the T.G. Jackson Scholarship from the Zeta Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta Pre-Health Society.

鈥淲hen I graduate in May, the scholarships will have given me the opportunity to attend college debt-free,鈥 she said. 鈥淭his is what giving can do to help students who are in need of financial support.鈥
