You did it, Wolfpack.

$13.5 million dollars raised. 10,810 gifts. All in a single day. We asked a lot of the NC State community, and you delivered — for students and scholarships, for research and world-class facilities.

Share Your Story

 

Last March, we asked if you were #GivingPack, and you gave us your answer. Our first-ever Day of Giving was a howling success, thanks to every member of the Wolfpack who made a gift or helped to spread the word.

Together, we’re unstoppable.
