Giving Red and Blue Day

April 4, 2024

On Thursday, April 4, undergraduate alumni will come together to enhance the University’s mission of  providing  world-class academics and transformational opportunities for current students through support of The Penn Fund.

This year, we can also have twice the impact! As of Thursday, April 4, the next $500,000 in contributions will be matched dollar for dollar (up to $50,000) as part of our now extended Giving Red and Blue Day $1.5 Million Challenge. Let’s keep going and growing together! Through our collective support, we can ensure that Penn remains a place of excellence, opportunity, and lifelong connections. Every contribution, no matter the size, is a truly meaningful investment.

We also invite you to bolster Giving Red and Blue Day by reaching out to your classmates and peers to encourage them to join you in supporting The Penn Fund.
