Join SXU for We Are SXU Day March 26th
Saint Xavier University's (SXU) annual day of giving, We Are SXU Day, will be celebrated Wednesday, March 26. Each year, the day is held in conjunction with Mission Day, a celebration that spotlights the University's core values of service, excellence, hospitality, and integrity. This year, SXU's goal is to reach $150,000 in donations.
We Are SXU Day is a 24-hour, participation-driven effort. Donors don't have to wait until March 26 to make their gift, either. You can make a donation now! Your gift will be included in all giving totals, allowing the University to unlock up to $20,000 additional dollars in challenges and matches.
Members of the SXU community, alumni, and friends are invited to join in the celebration with a variety of events on We Are SXU Day. At noon, all are invited to the Mission Day liturgy in McDonough Chapel. After, there will be festivities in the SXU Diner, including music, delicious snacks, engaging games, and giveaways! The community can stop by to make a gift, take fun photos at the selfie station, and visit with Champ the Cougar. At 3 p.m., the Mission Day Awards ceremony will be held in the McDonough Chapel and honor individuals who exemplify SXU's core values.
"I am very excited to participate in my first We Are SXU Day! I have consistently been impressed with the way the SXU community comes together to support and uplift our students. We Are SXU Day presents an opportunity for meaningful action — to strengthen our community by collectively investing in our students' futures and perpetuating the legacy of our founding Sisters of Mercy. By participating in We Are SXU Day, you become part of a movement that celebrates our mission and values and ensures a bright future for Saint Xavier University," said Adrian Aldrich, vice president for University Advancement.
Every gift, no matter the size, impacts the University -- your generosity can help to provide life-changing scholarships, create new internship and networking opportunities, organize mission and service trips, and design new spaces across campus that enhance student knowledge and success.
SXU calls its entire community, including alumni and friends, to participate in We Are SXU Day. In addition to donations, SXU is calling on alumni and friends to take their SXU pride viral by sharing how SXU made an impact using the hashtag #WeAreSXU and sharing photos on social media. Put on your scarlet and gray and unite with Cougars across the world for this very momentous occasion. Let's come together to show our Cougar pride and show the world what a difference a day makes!
