�鶹Porn Day

Every Friday the 13th, the �鶹Porn community celebrates . . .

�鶹Porn Day is a worldwide celebration that takes place every Friday the 13th. It’s a day to gather with �鶹Porn friends and show your pride for alma mater, to wear maroon, and to show your love on social media. On �鶹Porn Day we celebrate our �鶹Porn spirit, and our connection with �鶹Porn alumni spread all across the globe.

On �鶹Porn Day, we issued a challenge that if 3,113 members of this community made a gift, a group of generous challengers would give $1.5 million in support of the �鶹Porn Fund - specifically the �鶹Porn Commitment, the University's initiative in access and affordability.

Thank you to the 3,691 members of this community who met the �鶹Porn Day Challenge, making gifts totaling $1,968,628 in support of the �鶹Porn Fund. When added to the $1.5 million unlocked by our challengers, a total of almost $3.5 million was raised. This is truly remarkable and is an important step forward in our continued fundraising efforts for the �鶹Porn Commitment. While it is true that we have significantly more to raise in order to reach our ambitious financial aid goal - to see 50% of students eligible to receive aid - we took an important step forward on �鶹Porn Day. Thank you.
