The entire William & Mary community will come together on Tuesday, April 19 to celebrate One Tribe One Day — the third annual giving day for the university. For 24 hours, students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends can make a gift of any size to any area of William & Mary and add their support to the record-breaking effort.
Last year, One Tribe One Day brought more than 6,000 donors together to give over $1.3 million to the university, breaking the previous single-day donor record of 1,700. Tribe members from all over the globe contributed to the effort. The 2016 event promises to be even more successful, as the university hopes to attract 7,000 donors throughout Tuesday.
The university has established www.wm.edu/otod to serve as the central rallying point for giving, information and social media.
This year, for the first time, William & Mary’s schools and units will be competing against each other in the Gerdelman School and Unit Competition. Every gift made to any fund under a school or unit counts. The top three schools or units with the most donors at the end of the day will receive $25,000, $15,000, or $10,000 respectively.
We hope you will help Swem Library win the competition! Gifts of any size and to any Swem Library fund will help us achieve our goal of winning $25,000! You can give directly to Swem online.
Join our conversation on social media using the hashtags #OneTribeOneDay and #SwemLibrary. We will be sharing our stories and updating our competition progress throughout the day on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
