Gifts made through the 24-hour event will help fund academic, athletic, arts, service, career and cultural programs at UMW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These are all familiar hallmarks of the University of Mary Washington experience. On Tuesday, April 5, the entire UMW community \u2013 alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents and friends \u2013 is invited to join together in celebration of the fifth annual <a href=\"https:\/\/givingday.umw.edu\/\">Mary Wash Giving Day<\/a>. The highly anticipated event connects all who love Mary Washington \u2013 on campus, throughout the country and around the world \u2013 folks who are working together to guarantee that students continue to reap the benefits of a Mary Washington education for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s theme, #TogetherUMW, reminds us of what can be accomplished when we unite for a common purpose: To support students by funding academic, athletic, arts, service, career and cultural programs. UMW\u2019s goal \u2013 3,000 gifts during the 24-hour event, including 500 from first-time contributors \u2013 will strengthen the student experience and shape future generations of leaders, creators and problem-solvers from Mary Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Class challenges, as well as a \u201cDevil-Goat\u201d themed contest, will encourage friendly competition, while matches funded by generous donors will be \u201cunlocked\u201d during certain time periods, doubling and even tripling the impact of each gift. Dynamic leaderboards will help track progress in real time, building momentum and excitement throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a huge display of our Mary Washington pride and supports the amazing efforts of our students, faculty and staff,\u201d said Director of Annual Giving Shelby Orlando \u201914. UMW has benefited from strong private support for more than a century, she said, and Giving Day donations have been more essential than ever before, providing a much-needed boost for UMW programs.<\/p>\n<p>On the Mary Wash Giving Day website, donors will be able to directly support students through the General Scholarship Fund and the Technology Assistance Fund, or address the University\u2019s most pressing needs through the Fund for Mary Washington. Gifts will help strengthen diversity and inclusion initiatives and bolster campus preservation, student clubs and organizations, and other areas that make UMW a unique place to live, grow and study.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:7,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/09\\\/fifth-annual-giving-day-brings-umw-community-together-april-5\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px; height: 491px;\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-original-height=\"491\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 734px; height: 491px;\" data-original-width=\"734\" data-original-height=\"491\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2022\/03\/09\/fifth-annual-giving-day-brings-umw-community-together-april-5\/180920_umw_25968\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"730\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"487\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"92425\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1707\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5DS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1537407641&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;85&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-1024x683.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-scaled.jpg?w=730&#038;h=487&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-scaled.jpg 2560w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-300x200.jpg 300w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-1024x683.jpg 1024w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-680x453.jpg 680w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-1140x760.jpg 1140w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/180920_UMW_25968-600x400.jpg 600w\" width=\"730\" height=\"487\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"730\" data-original-height=\"487\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"\" alt=\"Your Mary Wash Giving Day contributions can help undergraduate students engage in trailblazing research alongside UMW faculty members.
