Giving events at Binghamton “Bring on the Bright”

Giving Tuesday Dec. 3 (the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year) kicked off the Binghamton Fund’s end-of-calendar-year fundraising initiatives to support Binghamton University. This year’s theme was “Bring on the Bright.”

A few weeks prior, students wrote heartfelt messages on postcards to donors during tabling in the MarketPlace. The activity, conducted as part of a Student Philanthropy Committee project, helped our campus community celebrate National Philanthropy Day, which was Nov. 15. In total, students wrote more than 500 thank-you notes to donors.
