“This year’s Day of Giving was defined by a surge of collective energy,” Christine Buber, director of annual giving, said. “Donors at home and from every corner of campus came together to prove that our community’s impact is truly unstoppable.”

Here are some highlights of the day, by the numbers: 

  • Total funds raised: $671,702 — a record! 
  • Highest number of challenge funds unlocked: $329,000
  • 2,046 total donors made gifts to over 100 programs
  • 979 donors supported TCNJ Athletics
  • 79 donors raised $136,166 for EOF 
  • 140 donors made their gift to the School of Humanities and Social Sciences — the most donors to a specific academic school 

“Behind every dollar donated is a student who will benefit from expanded resources and support,” Buber said. “This annual Day of Giving program reminds us that generosity doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.”
