SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – The annual Slippery Rock University Giving Day will take place Thursday, March 26 and there are numerous ways to support The Rock Athletics Department and SRU student-athletes this year.
 
"Giving Day is an opportunity for our alumni and others that have been positively impacted by their experience with Slippery Rock to give back and continue to enhance the experience for the next generation of SRU student-athletes," said Roberta Page, SRU director of athletics. "Our donors are such a vital part of the success of our Athletics program and every contribution, no matter how big or small, makes an impact. Last year we were able to raise more than $200,000 on Giving Day. Please consider making a gift and helping us support our student-athletes again this year."
 
Donors can make contributions to 16 different funds that will support Athletics at SRU, including options to support all student-athletes and options to donate to a specific SRU Athletics team. An additional $2,000 in the form of four $500 donations will be available for the funds that generate the highest number of donors, the highest number of student donors, the highest number of faculty donors and the highest number of parent donors. More information on each fund and instructions to choose a specific fund is available below.
