UTC Donor Day seeks $500,000 in one day
In its third year, Mocs Give Day on Tuesday will seek to raise $500,000 from 750 donors in a 24-hour digital fundraising campaign for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Matching gifts offered on Oct. 4 double a donor’s gift with five UTC colleges offering a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10,000 on Mocs Give Day. Mocs Club, the annual giving arm for UTC Athletics, can receive an additional $150,000 if they reach 300 donors on Mocs Give Day thanks to a generous donor, according to Kim White, the vice chancellor of advancement and executive director of the UC Foundation.
“All gifts in any amount to UTC on Mocs Give Day will help us reach our goal and positively impact students,” White said in an announcement of Mocs Give Day. “Whether you give a gift of $5 or $500, making a gift to UTC on Mocs Give Day truly goes far.”
UT System President Randy Boyd has committed to a $50,000 matching gift if donors give $50,000 for the Denise and Tim Downey Student Emergency Fund, which provides limited funding for UTC students experiencing financial hardship due to an accident, emergency, illness or other unforeseen event.
