The UW-Superior Alumni and Friends Foundation is excited to bring back and expand the Superior Days of Giving, which will be held March 24 through 26. Now in its 12th consecutive year, Superior Days of Giving is the university’s largest annual fundraising event.

This year, UW-Superior is embracing the theme “The Giving Games: Where Passion Meets Purpose” to spark a spirit of camaraderie among alumni, faculty and staff, and community supporters. From online ’Jacket Brackets that celebrate campus history and cherished traditions, to Match Madness and Challenge Charge opportunities that allow donors to multiply their impact, the Alumni and Friends Foundation is excited to engage the Yellowjacket community in new ways.

“We’re thrilled to expand Superior Days of Giving to three full days this year, and to offer several matches and challenges. Nearly $20,000 has been pledged so far for these opportunities and anyone can create their own as well,” said Jeanne Thompson, vice chancellor for university advancement. “While the Superior Fund remains our highest priority, we also provide the option for donors to select a funding opportunity meaningful to them. We have had so much success with this program over the years, and that success has translated to directly supporting our amazing students. I know we can count on our generous alumni and friends again this year.” 

Gifts to the Superior Fund support student scholarships, undergraduate research, academic programming and more. As a top fundraising priority, the Superior Fund plays a vital role in enabling the foundation to provide essential support to the university.

While most contributions are made online, gifts can also be mailed to the UW-Superior Alumni and Friends Foundation. Every donation – of any amount – made March 24 through 26 will contribute to the success of Superior Days of Giving.

The foundation is also continuing its partnership with Yellowjacket Athletics, which will host its seventh telethon in support of the Champions Club. Contributions to the Champions Club directly benefit student-athletes in UW-Superior’s NCAA Division III athletics and club programs.
