太平洋 called, and thousands of Tigers answered in powerful ways. 

太平洋给, 这是学校一年一度的捐赠日, raised a record-shattering $2 million from more than 4,000年捐助者. For a fourth consecutive year, the 24-hour fundraiser broke records for both donors and donations. 

来自校友的礼物, 教师, 教职员及学生, along with their families and friends in nearly every U.S. 州和十几个国家.

"太平洋给 proves every year how strong, dedicated and generous this community is, and how far we’ll go to support students and each other,Scott Biedermann说, ’20, vice president for development and alumni relations. “I’m deeply grateful to everyone who contributed and am overwhelmed and inspired by what we accomplished together.”

The day’s success included 100% participation from the Board of Regents, 总统内阁, the deans and the 太平洋 校友 Association Board.

Three hundred 太平洋给 Ambassadors also played a significant role, taking social media by storm and sending impassioned emails and texts inviting their networks to give.

Head men’s soccer coach Adam Reeves personally recruited 121 donors for his program. 在他的努力下, men’s soccer had the second-highest donor count among all athletic teams and the most of any men’s program.

The team will use donations to purchase cutting-edge upgrades to their training technology and to enhance nutritional resources for players.

“I’m very grateful for the donors who contributed to our program and ultimately, 致我们的学生运动员. This was truly a collective effort among staff, players and alumni,” Reeves said.

“My ultimate goal is to provide our players with the resources to be successful in the classroom and on the field. This achievement will help us get there.”

The day’s top ambassador was Kuy Ky ’92, a Stockton-based dentist and 太平洋 校友 Association board member. Ky is past president of the Rotary Club of Stockton and volunteers with local mobile dental clinics. He is also the proud father of two current 太平洋 students.

A graduate of the 社区参与计划, Ky invited his networks to support an endowed scholarship for current CIP Scholars. He sent texts inviting donations from his dental community and past Rotary Club mentees, 等.

He described the response from 199 donors as a “rambunctious snowball effect.”

“因为我是新加入校友会的。, and since CIP has meant so much to me from my youth, I really wanted to accomplish something,Ky说. “It really touches my heart that my community made it happen.”

With Ky’s help, CIP raised nearly $30,000 from more than 400 donors.

Students’ efforts also drove the day’s success. Emma Garber ’25 championed fundraising for The 太平洋an student newspaper—of which she is editor-in-chief—and for 太平洋 Forensics. She and other forensics club members sent texts and emails from the air while flying home from a national speech and debate competition.

“I love talking to alumni of the 太平洋 Forensics program,” Garber said. “They always have such fun stories about their time on the team, and they are invested in hearing our stories of success.”

The Paul Winters Tournament Endowment raised $5,100 for forensics from more than 160 donors, including a generous matching gift from alumni Jon Schamber ’74, 1992年的帕梅拉·吉布斯和斯科特·H. 83年，86年.

The 太平洋an received gifts from 62 donors who unlocked $5,000 in challenge funds. The 太平洋an has been the university’s student news publication since 1908, and 太平洋给 gifts will help modernize its digital platforms and pay its student staff.

“太平洋给 shows that even giving one dollar matters. It’s very inspiring to see how many people support my education and will take action to support 太平洋. I’m most proud that 太平洋 Forensics and The 太平洋an met their challenge goals,” Garber said.

在地上, 克里斯托弗·卡拉汉总统, First Lady Jean Callahan and 总统内阁 matched $15,000 in gifts from 太平洋 教师 and staff. Their challenge was met by more than 600 employees across all three campuses.
