The University of Toledo Foundation’s Spooktacular Giving Challenge is in full swing — but with no tricks, just treats for Rocket Nation.
The monthlong fundraising campaign began on Oct. 1 and runs through Friday, Oct. 31, and features a fun Halloween theme to support students, faculty, staff and patients across the UToledo community. While the campaign highlights the Rocket Boost need-based scholarship, Rocket Fuel food pantries and Rocket-to-Rocket emergency fund, participants can donate to any of the Foundation’s more than 2,000 funds.
With your support, we can BOO-st Rocket spirits this season and reach the campaign goal of 500 donors.
To make a donation, visit the Spooktacular Giving Challenge website.
As a bonus, donors who give $10 or more to any fund will receive a special Rocket pumpkin carving stencil kit featuring 3 unique stencils to bring some Rocket Pride to your Halloween decorations. Later this month, the Foundation will host a pumpkin carving contest on their Facebook page, encouraging donors to use their stencils and show off their pumpkins and Halloween decorations.
Once 175 people donate to the Spooktacular Giving Challenge, a $500 bonus will unlock for one of the highlighted funds. The winner will be chosen via a poll on The University of Toledo Foundation Facebook page.
Another $500 match will be given to the Progress Fund of the college or division with the most donors to their funds during the campaign.
Visit the Spooktacular Giving Challenge website to view the leaderboard.
