Before Day For Oxy:

Subject: Join me for the 5th annual Day For Oxy on April 18!

We’re counting down to the Oxy Fund’s fifth annual Day For Oxy on April 18, in honor of Occidental’s Founders Day! On that day, the Tiger community across the globe will join together to support today’s students. In its first four years, Oxy’s giving day has raised over $6.5 million – a remarkable outpouring of generosity. I hope you will join me on April 18 in giving back to Oxy. Let’s make this the best Day For Oxy yet!

I will be advocating to help the College reach its goal of inspiring 2,024 donors to give in just 36 hours. Gifts can be made in support of the College’s greatest needs – including financial aid, campus-wide sustainability, mental health resources, and programming focused on student belonging – or to any area of Oxy that is meaningful to you.

I hope you’ll consider joining me with a gift on April 18. Gifts of all sizes will help us reach our goal and make a true difference in the lives of Oxy’s exceptional students.
