Annual giving day roars with success, breaks fundraising goals

On April 12, Saint Leo University celebrated a successful day of giving, upholding an important university tradition. The Day for Saint Leo campaign surpassed its goal, raising more than $500,000 by receiving 655 donor gifts, marking the 10th annual giving day as one of the best in Saint Leo’s history. Special thanks to Saint Leo University Board of Trustees member John Picciano ’69, CEO of Oglethorpe Inc., for donating $127,735, to bring total dollars raised from $372,265 to $500,000. 

“On behalf of the entire university community, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support during our 10th annual Day for Saint Leo,” said Vice President of Advancement Stephen Kubasek ’08. “Your generosity serves as an inspiration to all of us, and your donations make it possible to touch the lives of thousands of students each year.”

With the overwhelming support of alumni, parents, students, faculty, and staff, we were able to unlock 10 giving challenges totaling $250,000 that were established through the generous support of individual donors, the board of trustees, and corporate/foundation partnerships.

Thank you to all faculty and staff who participated in the events, social media campaign, and giving. With your continued support, we will be able to grow a sustainable culture of philanthropy at Saint Leo University.
