UF First Gen Alumni Association

Can we do it all again? ✨🥂 A little over a week ago, we came together to celebrate the strength, resiliency, and spirit of first-generation students and alumni in New York City. Our inaugural Giving Gala raised almost $6,000! We hope this is the first of many. But, for now, we want to thank everyone for their support!

Keeping it 💯! We did it; we hit our goal of 100 donations for Giving Day! Thank you so much to all of our fearless first-gen supporters. We are immensely proud of how this community showed up for our first official Gator Nation Giving Day! Here's to many more successful fundraising initiatives. But for now, we will give our phone batteries a well-deserved weekend break. Go Gators! #AllfortheGators #GatorNationIsEverywhere #MFOSproud #FirstGenUF

HALFWAY TO OUR GOAL 📣 A big thank-you to those who have already donated. We’re making great progress, but we still need your help to reach our goal of 100 unique donations. Here’s the challenge: 💙 If you haven’t donated yet, now’s the time—even $1 makes an impact! 🧡 Already donated? Reach out to 5 friends and challenge them to do the same! https://lnkd.in/gnpsj87E #AllForTheGators #GoGators #FirstGenUF #MFOSproud

24 Hours. 100 Donations. We Can Do This! Gator Nation Giving Day is here! With just 24 hours for this fundraising initiative, we challenge you to reach out to 5 friends and ask them to donate to help us reach our goal. The clock officially started at midnight last night! Our goal is to receive 100 unique donations to our FGAA page by the end of Giving Day. Every donation counts, and contributions can be as small as $1. #AllfortheGators — The FGAA Executive Board https://lnkd.in/gnpsj87E

ONE WEEK! 📣 Gator Nation Giving Day is just one week away! On Thursday, February 20, Gator Nation will unite for 24 hours to rally behind a shared goal. During this fundraising initiative, we ask that you "Stand Up & Holler" for the areas you care about most. Mark your calendars and meet us online next week. We plan to canvas the internet and tap first-gen friends and supporters to help us raise funds for FGAA. Our goal is to have 100 unique donations by the end of Giving Day. As a reminder, any donation amount counts toward our total and can be as small as $1. PS—If you want a head start, please click the link below! https://lnkd.in/gnpsj87E
