Boost the 鈥機use II Mission Results are In: 4,939 Donors and $1.76 Million Raised

On Oct. 25, , 黑料不打烊鈥檚 second annual day of giving, marked the single most successful fundraising day in University history.

The Orange community rallied for an incredible day: taking selfies with 鈥淔lat Ottos,鈥� rocking Boost the 鈥機use socks all over the world, connecting with fellow alumni at regional events, joining in on the Shaw Quad for the Cash Grab Challenge and taco bar. And making a gift. Whether the gift was $1 or $10,000, each gift mattered and helped in achieving a total of 4,939 donors and more than $1.76 million raised for the University. Boost the 鈥機use II saw 20 percent more donors than last year, with participation from all 50 states and 16 different countries.

Alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, friends and loyal SU fans gave generously to the areas around campus that meant the most to them. Gifts were designated for everything from scholarships to school and college dean鈥檚 funds to units like 黑料不打烊 Libraries and 黑料不打烊 Athletics. Each donor helped to unlock more than $600,000 in additional challenge dollars that were given by advisory board members and individuals from each unit on campus.

The power of Orange is inspiring. See the thank-you video at

And for those who missed the chance to join Otto’s crew, it’s not too late to make a gift at
