Good afternoon communicators,

I hope you all are having a good week! I wanted to let you know about a few upcoming opportunities to learn about this year’s Big Orange Give — UT’s day of giving.

As many of you know, Big Orange Give happens every fall and is a day where Vols all across the country come together in support of UT by making a gift to an area of campus they choose. The 24-hour campaign is in its 8^th year and is always an exciting day of generosity and a great way to garner support for your college or unit.

This year, Big Orange Give is Wednesday, November 10^th

Unlike years past, we will not have a dollar goal for the campaign, but rather a “gifts” goal. We have our eyes on reaching 8,000 gifts in just 24 hours. Every gift counts, and every participant counts. That’s where YOU come in!

To make BOG a success, we’ll need all units across campus to promote giving to their unit. Don’t worry… we’ll give you everything you need to be successful!

Please mark your calendar for four opportunities to learn about how to promote BOG on November 10. You may join whichever session works best for your schedule.

Session 1 — October 5 at 11:00 am
Session 2 — October 8 at 1:00 pm
Session 3 — October 11 at 10:00 am
Session 4 — October 12 at 3:00 pm

At the meeting, we will walk through the following items:

Timing, goals, and campaign introduction
Review what is in the Big Orange Give toolkit (graphics, assets, and tools for your use!)
Big Orange Give match opportunities
Big Orange Give ambassadors
Time for any questions
