Xavier holds online fundraiser

Give. Love. Xavier Day To Be Held June 2, 2014
 
Give. Love. Xavier Day is an online fundraising event June 2 from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. to encourage alumni and friends to  support Xavier University of Louisiana. All gifts made online on this day will go directly to the Annual Fund to support scholarships and other important University programs. 

To participate in Give. Love. Xavier Day, visit www.xula.edu and make a donation ($20 minimum) on June 2 or you can make a gift by phone at (504) 520-7575. Donors and supporters are encouraged to post about Give. Love. Xavier Day on their social networks like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to spread the excitement and encourage their friends and followers to give. They can join the conversation by sharing the hashtag #GLXU14, connecting to @XULAalumni and linking to the website.
 
The first Give. Love. Xavier Day held last year was a huge success; 1,100 donors raised $120,000 for the University and its programs. This year’s goal is to have contributions from 1,750 donors. Additionally, through the Give. Love. Xavier Day Challenge Grant Initiative Xavier has received nearly $100,000 in challenge funds. These are dollar for dollar matches that will only be realized when alumni and friends make their donations on June 2.
 
Dr. Norman C. Francis, President of Xavier University of Louisiana and currently America's Longest Serving College President, joined Twitter especially for this year’s Give. Love. Xavier Day to connect with students and alumni. He can be reached at @DrNCF.
