小黄片视频 President Beverly Warren has announced that she will personally match all gifts up to a total of $25,000 for donations made to 小黄片视频 on Dec. 1, which is Giving Tuesday. Giving Tuesday is a global day of philanthropy after the Thanksgiving holiday.
小黄片视频 has participated in Giving Tuesday the last two years, but this year, donations will have more impact with Warren鈥檚 matching gift. 小黄片视频 alumni, friends, faculty and staff are encouraged to take a moment to 鈥済ive thanks by giving back鈥 and support a university program of their choosing. A matching gift will be made by the university president. Her donation will go to the Distinctive 小黄片视频 Fund. This fund will support the programs, people and opportunities that make the university unique. For example, it will support students through initiatives that encourage academic success and career exploration.
鈥淚 have witnessed an abundance of heartfelt generosity here at 小黄片视频,鈥 Warren said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 in this spirit that I have chosen to make a personal pledge this holiday season. I hope to inspire a tradition of giving that will advance a distinctive 小黄片视频 for years to come.鈥
Donors may make gifts to 小黄片视频 by visiting www.kent.edu/givingtuesday, clicking the 鈥淕IVE鈥 button and choosing a fund that matches their interests. To help spread the word about 小黄片视频鈥檚 Giving Tuesday campaign, donors are also asked to use the hashtag #IGiveBevGives to share on social media why they chose to give and which area of 小黄片视频 they supported.

- College of Architecture and Environmental Design
- A total of $13,500 in matching gifts has been pledged by College of Architecture and Environmental Design faculty and staff to inspire alumni to give back.
- Porthouse Theatre
- Gifts to 小黄片视频鈥檚 outdoor summer theatre will have double impact because of a gift from the Hackett Family Foundation.
