PNW encourages pledges to support students during Day of Giving on September 9

Purdue University Northwest (PNW) hopes to inspire its alumni, faculty, staff, parents and friends to help its students “Power Onward” by making a pledge of support during the Purdue Northwest Day of Giving on Wednesday, September 9.

The online event is a 24-hour opportunity to support PNW’s student scholarships, academic programs, athletics, and areas of community impact.

Designed to provide a convenient, daylong opportunity to make a monetary gift of any amount to PNW, Day of Giving sees gifts from thousands of supporters who answer that call.

Supporting students, scholarships and more

Donations can be made online beginning at 11 p.m. CDT, or local time in Northwest Indiana, on Sept. 8 at dayofgiving.pnw.edu. Visitors to the website will learn how their donations benefit PNW, how to give to their favorite college or cause, and about various giving challenges and matching funds that increase the value of their donations to PNW even more.

Donors can give to the PNW Dean of Students Emergency Fund; College of Business; College of Engineering & Sciences; College of Humanities, Education & Social Sciences; College of Nursing; College of Technology; Athletics; Strategic Initiatives; Sinai Forum; Gabis Arboretum; Alumni Community; Leadership Institute at Purdue Northwest, and others.

Sharing the hashtag #PNWDayOfGiving through a tweet or social media post will also generate money on behalf of PNW during designated challenge hours.
