Join SXU for We Are SXU Day March 20
Saint Xavier University's (SXU) annual day of giving, We Are SXU Day, will be celebrated Wednesday, March 20. Each year, the day is held in conjunction with Mission Day, a celebration that spotlights the University's core values of service, excellence, hospitality, and integrity. This year, SXU's goal is to reach $150,000 in donations.
We Are SXU Day is a 24-hour, participation-driven effort. Donors don't have to wait until March 20 to make their gift, either. You can make a donation now! Your gift will be included in all giving totals, allowing the University to unlock up to $35,000 additional dollars in challenges and matches.
Members of the SXU community, alumni, and friends are invited to join in the celebration with a variety of events on We Are SXU Day. At noon, all are invited to the Mission Day liturgy in McDonough Chapel. After, there will be a campus-wide group photo on the front steps of the Warde Academic Center at 1 p.m. At 3 p.m., the Mission Day Awards ceremony will be held in the McDonough Chapel and honor individuals who exemplify SXU's core values.
"I am thrilled to celebrate my first We Are SXU Day and support the vision of our founding Sisters of Mercy with this caring community. The Sisters laid a foundation of excellence that truly changed lives, and together, we can continue their legacy with meaningful action and make a difference for our students through transformative scholarships, vital initiatives, and more. I call all of our alumni, faculty, staff, and friends to get involved and have fun!" said President Keith Elder, Ph.D.
Every gift, no matter the size, impacts the University -- your generosity can help to provide life-changing scholarships, create new internship and networking opportunities, organize mission and service trips, and design new spaces across campus that enhance student knowledge and success.
SXU calls its entire community, including alumni and friends, to participate in We Are SXU Day. In addition to donations, we are calling on alumni and friends to take their SXU pride viral by sharing how SXU made an impact using the hashtag #WeAreSXU and sharing photos on social media. Put on your scarlet and gray and unite with Cougars across the world for this very momentous occasion. Let's come together to show our Cougar pride and show the world what a difference a day makes!
