Flashback and Give Back; It's Thank a Donor Day
While you're welcoming alumni back to campus this Homecoming, it's the perfect time to thank all the alumni and friends who give back in support of your education and experience at the U of A — and to make your own impact too!
Join fellow campus community members, rain or shine, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. today, Tuesday, Oct. 28, for the fifth annual Thank a Donor Day and Homecoming Canned Food Drive. Find all the fun on the Union Mall under sunny skies or in the Connections Lounge in the event of rain. After all, not even weather can dampen an attitude of gratitude.
During this spirited celebration of philanthropy, you can:
- Drop off canned food for the Jane B. Gearhart Full Circle Campus Food Pantry to benefit those in need on the Hill;
- Show your gratitude to thousands of alumni, friends, faculty and staff who donate to the U of A each year;
- Earn points to help your team in the Homecoming competition; and
- Enter to win a Razorback prize pack and pick up a Homecoming T-shirt.
Love a good hashtag? Tag your selfies and event pics with #uarkhomecoming, #uarkthanks and #FlashbackFayetteville to help spread the word and make this year's philanthropy day festivities the best yet!
