Thank you for making Black & Gold Giving Day a success!
Because of you, Black & Gold Giving Day was a celebration of generosity and impact! Together, we raised $800,797 from 796 donors to support the OU projects and initiatives you’re most passionate about—fueling student success, groundbreaking research, and community engagement.
A special thank you to our lead matching gift sponsor, Oakland University Credit Union (OUCU), for doubling the impact of so many gifts. We’re grateful for every donor, advocate, and supporter who made this day extraordinary!
The celebration doesn’t have to stop here! In honor of National Reading Month, check out our special Giving Day bookmarks, or keep the energy going with our Black & Gold Spotify playlist!
