Lumberjacks showed up on March 29, both in-person and virtually, and showed their commitment to NAU in a record-breaking Giving Day.

In one day, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and community supporters contributed $567,911 to scholarships and athletics to research to student projects, emergency resources, Native American initiatives and more.

Of the money raised, challenge gifts accounted for $294,019. Fundraisers led by student groups accounted for more than $22,000 from 444 gifts. Additionally, almost 200 students showed up to pick up trash throughout campus, more than 200 volunteers worked at booths at various campuses and more than 60 students served as social media ambassadors.
