GIVING DAY TOMORROW!
Good afternoon folks, just a reminder that tomorrow is JMU's annual Giving Day. I am sure there are many of you that already give throughout the year to JMU, but I would encourage you to make a little extra gift (I think the minimum is just $5) to one of the funds you feel passionate about. Duke Club is once again featured, along with the individual colleges and I'll make a shameless plug for the School of Liberal Arts Legacy Fund, whose Alumni Advisory Board has raised a challenge gift of $6,500 to contribute to that fund if the Legacy Fund gets 50 donations.

I hope you all help spread the word tomorrow and GO DUKES!

Donate here tomorrow!

RE: GIVING DAY TOMORROW!
Looking forward to participating! Planning on donating to the Duke Club, my College (CISE), maybe another one or two throughout the day.

Harrisonburg Alumni Chapter and Three Notch'd Brewing are teaming up to do a Happy Hour from 5:30-9. Three Notch'd will be donating $1/pint to a JMU fund. I'm planning on matching their donation, and a few friends might to the same. If you're in the area, come have a brew for JMU.

I think most people on here would donate to any fund except the Men's Basketball program. Cheers to the Dukes.

TODAY IS THE DAY! Head over to the Giving Day Site to donate, every donation helps JMU, no matter the amount or where you give.

In addition to the Harrisonburg Chapter event, there are events across the country, including one I'll be attending in Richmond at Jack Brown's. They will be donating 50 cents of every beer purchased toward Giving Day!

If you're in the JMU Nation Facebook group, make sure to comment in there with #IGave - they're doing some stats on that group's giving.

Duke Club just eclipsed $100k with 450 donors. 2018 goals were set at $250k and 1,000 donors. The DC seems to be trending in the right direction.

Overall, total gifts at $210k and 1,687 donors. 2018 goals were set at 5,000 donors and I can’t find the $ figure but I assume the goal is higher than last year's $610k. Not trending that direction yet but plenty of time!

Not a strong showing thus far; hoping it picks up when people get off of work.

I thought the same; evidently ahead of where we were last year though (per the internets)

Encourage your JMU network to make a gift! All the social media buzz makes a big difference.

Looks like someone just stroked a 7 figure gift.

Edit. Maybe the site is having issues. We were at 500k, jumped to 1.6mm, now back to 1.4mm. And now down to 900k.

Site must be busted.

GIVING DAY TOMORROW!
Last I saw was just over 5,000 donors and around $650,000.

Gotta say, that used to be the ANNUAL donations.

Pretty damn impressive numbers, and at some PT you hit critical mass and we’ll be over 10k donors and a million bucks in a day.

Nice job JMU!

Goooooo Duuuukes!!!!!

Couple of us talking about it last night, it really wasn't that long ago. JMU has come a long way in a few years. Granted we have so much farther to go compared to other institutions, but the numbers are moving in the right direction.

I’d be very curious to see the data of how our giving has improved with time. Granted I haven’t googled it lately to research.
