“UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — On Nov. 28, Penn State celebrated its ninth GivingTuesday event, and for the ninth time, Penn Staters around the world set both participation and fundraising records, making 13,587 gifts to collectively contribute more than $1.4 million toward campaigns University-wide.
“Investing in community is what GivingTuesday is all about, and it makes me incredibly proud to see how Penn Staters showed up for today’s students,” said David J. Lieb, interim vice president for development and alumni relations. “The passion, heart and generosity of this community are unmatched.”
The University’s event was driven by nearly 180 participating campaigns — another record figure — led by students, staff, faculty and alumni interest groups representing every Penn State college and campus. The number of participating student organizations was the highest to date, with 54 campaigns promoting a wide array of student interests, nearly double the involvement seen in 2022. Student organizations collectively raised nearly $67,000, with the Skull and Bones Senior Honor Society raising the most funding and the Penn State Mock Trial Association bringing in the highest number of gifts. Across campaigns University-wide, the number of student donors increased 36% from last year.“
Well done, everyone. Penn State thanks you!
