Boston University's 10th annual Giving Day has successfully reached a milestone of $1M in donations, demonstrating the community's strong support for various university causes. The event, held on April 3, aimed to achieve a goal of 13,000 donors and featured activities such as free food, swag, Trivia Trolley, and a community mural painting. Special challenges were introduced to encourage donations, including matching challenges for the BULawReproJustice Fund, the Public Interest Project Fund, and a fund supported by Ernest M. Haddad focused on human rights. Additionally, incentives were provided, such as matching the first $17.5K and $20K in gifts for selected funds, and a $75K donation by Steve Kay and Susan Bloch if 150 donors were reached. Dale K. Lipnick was recognized for being the 7,000th donor, unlocking an extra $250 for their chosen fund. A Power Hour was also announced, offering an additional $1,000 in bonus funds to the fund with the most unique donors by 7 pm ET.
