VINCENNES, Ind. - Today is the day the Vincennes University community comes together and shows their Trailblazer spirit by supporting Blazers Give Day. 

The third annual 24-hour giving day is devoted to giving back and sharing your favorite things about VU. 

Blazers Give Day is the “One Day That Makes A Difference Every Day” and brings alumni, employees, friends, parents, and students together to make an impact that plays a role in transforming the futures of students and strengthens VU's tradition of excellence.

Executive Director of the VU Foundation and Senior Director of Advancement Kristi Deetz said, "Donors are helping break down barriers that enable Trailblazers to pursue their passions and they are creating opportunities that change lives and communities. Our students strive to blaze their own trail and every gift supports that journey."

Support what you love at VU by donating to a fund or area you are passionate about. Beginning at midnight and running until 11:59 p.m., online giving is open for the BLAZERS GIVE Fund, the college of your choice, or a specific program or scholarship. Every gift has a lasting impact, regardless of size.

Donors can visit vinu.edu/blazersgive to make donations.

Let’s come together and show how Trailblazers can make a difference.
