Join us for 2023 AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Day!
AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Day starts at 10 p.m. on Feb. 21 and runs for 49 hours through 10:50 p.m. on Feb. 23. We're inviting the entire UAF community to join us in participating in UA AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Day 2023 so all of our alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends can directly support UAF.
Last year, about 750 alumni, donors and supporters took the time to give a combined $664,000 to support students and programs at UAF, and with challenges available this year, we could supersize our donations to support even more programs and research vital to the community and state.
A new challenge to consider supporting this year will benefit UAF’s top fundraising priority. When 149 people make a gift to the Troth Yeddha’ Indigenous Studies Center it will unlock a collective gift of $30,000 from Heather Kendall-Miller and Lloyd Miller and the Legacy Committee.
In addition, Chancellor White is offering to make a $5,000 donation to the UAF fund that gets the most gifts during AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Day. There are also several challenges that will unlock more than $15,000 for UAF when alumni make a gift. to see the areas of donation and a breakout of the various challenges posted to supersize your gift.
