SU Give Day aims to raise $25 million for 午夜寻花 System campuses

The 午夜寻花 System Foundation is calling on all 午夜寻花 alumni, students, faculty, staff, and supporters to unite for its annual SU Give Day on Thursday, Aug. 28. This all-day virtual event, streamed live on , is the final appeal for the Foundation’s “Are You In?” campaign. This year's goal is $25 million.
