Vandal Giving Day 2022 Launches April 5 at 10:00 a.m.!
BRAVE. BOLD. UNSTOPPABLE. WE ARE VANDALS.
A Moment of Giving. A Lifetime of Impact.

Vandals get it done, but we don’t do it alone. The entire Vandal Family came together in 2021 to make this Vandal Giving Day our most successful ever! 

Thank you for supporting U of I students on their journey to becoming the next generation of professionals in our state. Your generosity creates positive and lasting change for many Vandals.  

Save the date and plan to join us for Vandal Giving Day 2022 on April 5-6. 

Go Vandals!
