NEWARK, Del. – I Heart UD Giving Day is May 5th, so mark your calendars! Fans of Delaware Athletics can directly support more than 600 student-athletes, who represent 21 varsity athletic programs.
I Heart UD Giving Day is an opportunity for members of the entire UD community to collectively support the Blue Hens. By being a part of I Heart UD Giving Day, your donation will go to enhancing the student-athlete experience and assist in providing the resources they need to achieve their goals.
Fans have until midnight on May 5 to donate and spread the word. Help build upon our commitment to developing inspired, conscientious, and engaged student leaders who impact the community while growing championship teams and experiences.
This year the Blue Hens will have multiple donor challenges to unlock additional gifts.
