2018 One Day. One KU.

ONE DAY. ONE KU. was a tremendous success! In just 24 hours, thousands of Jayhawks came together to support the University of Kansas. We were thrilled to see so much KU pride expressed on social media and are excited to share that more than $734,000 was raised for programs and initiatives across all campuses! These gifts will have a lasting impact on our university community. Thank you, Jayhawk Nation!

If you didn't get a chance to make a gift and would still like to support the University of Kansas, please visit kuendowment.org/givenow. Gifts are accepted 365 days a year. Rock Chalk!

THANK YOU
Feb 21, 2018

We are amazed by how many Jayhawks came together yesterday to support the University of Kansas. We couldn’t have been successful without you, our generous alumni and friends.

 

We’d love to share this message from Chancellor Girod:

 

Halftime!
Feb 20, 2018

Wow — what a day so far! We’ve raised over $175K from more than 720 gifts (and counting!) in the first 12 hours of One Day. One KU. We have just 12 hours left! If the weather or your location has kept you from being able to make it to campus today, here’s some photos of the fun ways students are getting involved. Be sure to follow all the fun on social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram)!
