Alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents and the community are invited to support
University of Houston-Clear Lake on #GivingTuesday, Nov. 27. The university is seeking
to set a new participation record of at least 200 Hawks making a gift of $1 or more
to any college, department, scholarship or program during a 24-hour period.
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving that harnesses the potential of social media
and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their
communities. The day follows Thanksgiving and the popular shopping events, Black Friday
and Cyber Monday, to kick off the charitable season of end-of-year giving.
In 2016 – the university’s first year to participate in #GivingTuesday – UH-Clear
Lake raised about $13,400 from 110 alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends.
The next year, 149 Hawks helped break a participant record and donated an additional
$11,500.
All are invited to share their generosity and give back in support of UHCL by making
a gift in person at the #HawksGivingBack table on Tuesday, Nov. 27, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
in UHCL’s Bayou Building, Atrium I, or from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the new Recreation
and Wellness Center, both at 2700 Bay Area Blvd., Houston, or 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. at
UHCL Pearland Campus, 1200 Pearland Pkwy., Pearland, Texas. Participants can also
give online at www.uhcl.edu/givingtuesday any time throughout the day.
Donors can make a general donation or specify where they would like their gifts to
go. Some options to consider:
