Tomorrow (11/21) members of the Alfred State community will come together to raise funds for current and future Pioneers during the college’s annual Day of Giving.  

Started in 2016, the yearly event raises funds for scholarships, academic and mental health resources, support for athletics, and each of the college’s three academic schools. Alumni, friends, families, and current students are asked to join in and support the cause.  

The college will host a pair of special events during the Day of Giving. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. a variety of student organizations will host activities in the Student Leadership Center. Those attending can donate to the college at the Institutional Advancement table and sign a Thank You card. At halftime of the men’s basketball game (7 p.m. vs. Geneseo), fans can try to make a halfcourt shot for a $1 donation. The first person to hit the shot will win a $100 gift card.  

“This is always an exciting day,” stated Director of Development Jason Sciotti. “It is amazing day to see so many people come together to support Alfred State, our students, and the goals of the college. I look forward to this day and I am excited to see the impact this year’s Day of Giving will have.”
