INDIANA, Pa. -- Support the IUP athletic department and student-athletes on Giving Tuesday, set for Tuesday, November 28.
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity initiative that started in 2012, which has blossomed into a movement that inspires millions to give, collaborate and celebrate generosity.
"Philanthropic support to our athletic programs helps us continually deliver a transformational experience for our student-athletes in and out of the classroom," IUP director of athletics Todd Garzarelli said. "This global initiative is a great opportunity for all of our consistent groups to make an immediate impact for our department, student-athletes and coaches."
There are many outlets to make a tax-deductible gift to support IUP Athletics throughout the year. Funds are used to support student-athlete scholarships, operating costs, facility upgrades and more.
