Your Alma Mater / Rocket Forward Day of Giving

By William L. Pierce

I hope this finds you in great spirits and enjoying a fruitful start to the new year. As a cherished member of our alumni family, I’m excited to ask you to join me in supporting our 2025 Rocket Forward Day of Giving!

Why Day of Giving?

Starting on February 26th, for 36 incredible hours, our entire university community will come together with one purpose: to amplify the impact of education and foster opportunities for future generations. This is our moment to unite, celebrate, and make a tangible difference in the lives of our students and patients.

Your Impact

Every gift, no matter the size, matters. It’s not about the amount; it’s about the collective power of our alumni network coming together. When you give, you:

1. Empower students: Your generosity can provide scholarships, ensuring that financial barriers don’t hinder talented students.

2. Enhance programs: Support cutting-edge research, innovative programs, and enriching student experiences.

3. Improve Quality of Life: Enhancing our clinical operation allows us to continue being a leader in providing care that saves lives.

4. Strengthen the community: Help build a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive environment for everyone at The University of Toledo.

Join Us in Making History

Together, we can make this Day of Giving the most impactful one yet. Mark your calendars, spread the word by serving as an advocate, and get ready to make a difference. Your participation—whether through giving, sharing, or simply celebrating with us—is invaluable.

Thank you for being a vital part of our community. Your continued support and dedication inspire us every day.

With warmest regards,
