Scranton's Annual Day of Giving
On May 6, Unite with Us in Purple & White!
We're counting down to 5.06.26, our 12th Annual Day of Giving, an event that brings our Royal community together to celebrate and support the programs, organizations, and causes that inspire our students to become future leaders and visionaries.
Early Gift Incentive
While our official Day of Giving begins at midnight on 5.06, early gifts have become the secret of 5.06's success. We encourage early giving for those with busy schedules and those eager to be counted among our Royal supporters.
Make a gift of $50 or more to any campus designation between now and May 1 to receive an exclusive University of Scranton garden flag while supplies last. Don't miss this chance to help our students bloom!

Thank you for being a part of 5.06 and helping us reach our goal of 2,500 donors!
