HAYS, Kan. – Join Tiger fans worldwide in supporting Fort Hays State University this Giving Day, Tuesday, April 18. Visit FHSUGivingDay.com to find your cause and make a gift to FHSU.

This year, the 24-hour fundraising effort features 62 projects from academic departments, organizations, and teams across campus in need of financial support. Make your gift to the area of FHSU that means to most to you. If you don’t have a particular cause that is close to your heart, consider supporting the Kansas Comprehensive Grant.

• $10+ will receive a premium FHSU sticker
• $50+ will receive a set of FHSU car coasters and a sticker

Last year’s second annual Giving Day inspired 810 Tiger fans from across 40 states to support more than 50 areas throughout FHSU. Many donors contributed to multiple projects, impacting student organizations, scholarships, academic departments, and athletic programs.
