Canisius Giving Day is Wednesday, April 3! Stories have the power to inspire, encourage and transform. Canisius Giving Day 2019 is all about sharing and celebrating the individual stories that make Canisius so special. It’s about using those stories to inspire Griffs everywhere to come together and give back so that the next generation of Canisius stories can be written.
Last year, 2,110 people came together and collectively contributed $448,350 for our students. This year, we’re aiming higher! Every story begins with a new chapter, and every gift to Canisius on April 3 will help write a chapter in the Canisius storybooks of current and future Griffs!
This year’s celebration will include a series of on-campus activities and other fun ways for faculty and staff to celebrate this special day, help make an impact, and fundraise for academic programs and athletic teams. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.
If you have any questions about #CanisiusGivingDay, contact the Canisius Fund team at Ext. 2712.

The more people who come together on April 3, the more Canisius stories WE CAN tell.
