Get Involved with 18 Hours & 52 Minutes of Giving!

Jessi on September 3, 2019

Phi Mu Foundation’s annual day of giving is on Tuesday, October 22, 2019.

Last year, 945 Phi Mu members and friends rallied together to show their support for our sisterhood and made contributions totaling more than $96,000! It was the largest fundraising day of the year for Phi Mu Foundation and we’re looking forward to making it happen again in 2019 with your help.

This year, 18 Hours & 52 Minutes of Giving will take place on Tuesday, October 22, beginning at 6:00 a.m. ET, but you don’t have to wait until then to participate! Here are some ways you can plan to join the fun before and during 18 Hours & 52 Minutes of Giving:

* Sign up to join our volunteer social media team and share your love for Phi Mu in the days leading up to 18 Hours & 52 Minutes.

*Join the 18 Hours & 52 Minutes of Giving Leadership Circle with a gift of $500 or more. Members of the Leadership Circle will be listed on our website and promoted on social media. Gifts can be made in advance of 18 Hours & 52 Minutes by contacting Director of Major Gifts Mandi Young.

*Flex your competitive spirit and get together with other members or friends to make an 18 Hours & 52 Minutes Challenge Gift! Challenge Gifts will be featured on Phi Mu Foundation social media accounts throughout the day of giving to challenge others to make a contribution to unlocking a larger gift. Check out some of the challenges that were accomplished last year! Challenge Gifts can be established by contacting Director of Major Gifts Mandi Young.

In the meantime, make sure you’re following @PhiMuFoundation on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram so that you can keep up with the latest news on 18 Hours & 52 Minutes.

Save the date for October 22 and plan to join us online to share your pride and passion for Phi Mu!
