For Whom the Bell Tolls: All Who've Gone All In for Arkansas
The Toller Celebration Bell at the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House will ring at 1:11 p.m. today to celebrate ALL who've gone All in for Arkansas during the University of Arkansas' first-ever online giving event.
All in for Arkansas kicked off at 6 a.m. yesterday morning and concludes at 1:11 p.m., giving all who love Arkansas — on campus and around the world — 1,871 minutes to make a difference in honor of the U of A's founding year.
Already made your gift? Thank you! Help spread the word on social media to encourage staff, faculty, alumni, friends, parents and even students to get involved and give back.
Haven't gone All In yet? Now's the time! Please make your gift before the bell rings, and help make history on the Hill. Donations of all sizes are coming together to make a big difference for U of A students and programs all across campus!
Faculty and staff can also contribute with this new, easy-to-use online payroll deduction form, and their gifts will automatically be counted in the 6th annual Red, White & True employee giving campaign.
Be sure to follow our progress at allinforarkansas.uark.edu and share your U of A pride on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
The final All in for Arkansas results will be announced this afternoon, so stay tuned! In the meantime, you can check out pictures from the U of A's 145th birthday party, held yesterday afternoon on the Union Mall by the Student Alumni Association, to keep the celebration going.
