As the Class of 2025 prepares for commencement, The University of Toledo Foundation is encouraging seniors to mark this milestone by participating in the Rocket Senior Class Gift program.
With a contribution of $20.25 in honor of their class year, seniors receive a philanthropy cord to wear during commencement, serving as a visible reminder of their commitment to supporting the next generation of Rockets.
Students may designate their gift to any campus area that holds personal significance. Priority funds this year include:
• Division of Student Affairs Fund – supporting student needs, programs and activities.
• Alumni Engagement Fund – enhancing alumni connections and events.
• University Libraries Progress Fund – advancing resources and programming across UToledo Libraries.
Donors may also choose to honor a parent, professor, coach or mentor who shaped their experience. Honorees receive a letter of recognition from the Alumni Association.
The 2025 campaign introduces Senior Gift Bingo, giving students a fun way to get involved. Participants who complete a bingo cover-all will be entered to win exclusive prizes. Seniors who serve as advocates and encourage classmates to contribute also will be eligible for rewards.
Parents of graduating Rockets are invited to make a $20.25 contribution in honor of their student as well. Their gift supports UToledo and includes a personal note to the graduate acknowledging the tribute.
The deadline to participate is Tuesday, Nov. 25, at 6 p.m. Every contribution — no matter the size — strengthens the student experience at UToledo.
