Day of Giving coming up on November 17th
The 4th annual Day of Giving will be held on November 17th. It is a 24-hour online and social media fundraiser at Fresno State. The money raised goes towards scholarships to help students fund research, supplies, and creative activities during their time at the University.
“This allows you to pull your money with other people and make a big impact and we are talking about really big impacts. Sometimes it a question on whether a student can go to college or not. This is a question on whether a student has the supplies they need or not and that is one of the biggest benefits of Fresno State that we are able to change people’s lives,” said Benjamin Kirk, the communication specialist of the College of Arts and Humanities.
