Day of Giving Starts at Midnight: Join Us!

April 28, 2026

Dear Colleagues,

The Big Give begins at midnight tonight.

For 24 hours—through 11:59 p.m. tomorrow, April 29—our Purdue University Fort Wayne community will come together to support the people and programs that define us. Day of Giving is a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish when we act collectively on behalf of our students.

I encourage you to take part in a way that’s meaningful to you. Gifts of all sizes make a difference, whether directed to scholarships, academic programs, campus improvements, athletics, or other priorities that strengthen the student experience.

Giving is easy:

• Online: Visit the Day of Giving website
• Payroll Deduction: Complete the Payroll Deduction Request form

You can also amplify your impact by sharing your support on social media using #PFWDayOfGiving.

Thank you for all you do each day—and for considering an additional investment in our students during this special campaign. Your participation helps build momentum and sets the tone for the entire PFW community.

Sincerely,

Ron Elsenbaumer, Chancellor
