#PacificGives is a 24-hour online fundraising event to bring the entire Pacific family— students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, friends and the local community—together in support of current and future Tigers. On April 26-27, from noon to noon, we will stand together to celebrate all things Pacific and lead with purpose through philanthropy.
Why give on #PacificGives?
When you give during #PacificGives, you'll be joining hundreds of others in the Pacific community to show your Tiger Pride from all over the world. You'll also be able to choose from a variety of challenges and matching gift opportunities to increase the impact of your gift.
What are challenges?
Throughout #PacificGives, a variety of challenges will create opportunities to leverage your support for the school or program that matters to you. Challenges may include a dollar for dollar match or reaching a donor participation goal that will unlock additional funding for the school or program.
