March 2022 Newsletter
Fresh off our win against Stanford in Men's Basketball, we just got another win — we hit and exceeded our $5,000 goal for Housing the Bears!!
Together, we raised $5,454 from 52 donors in 29 days. Every dollar will go to the Basic Needs Center who will then use these funds to provide rental and housing security deposit assistance to Bears in need! We can't thank everyone enough for your support of Housing the Bears.
- Every gift and every share truly made a difference.
- Even interacting with our content on social media to boost it on the algorithm made a difference - we got an anonymous $700 donation after someone saw our Reel on Instagram!
- The smallest acts of giving back all sum together to make one big impact, and we're so proud. Go Bears!!
You're invited to join Big Give Live! from 12–1 p.m. PST on Thursday, March 10!
This is a special livestream event during Big Give, Cal's annual 24-hour fundraising blitz where the whole campus and alumni community race against the clock to support our university.Â
