GCU DAY OF GIVING AMBASSADORS
MOVE YOUR PURPOSE FORWARD!
Be a part of GCU's annual Day of Giving on Thursday, Oct. 22! Here’s everything you need to know about serving as a Day of Giving Ambassador.
On GCU’s Day of Giving, the entire university community will come together to empower students, campus activities, and colleges. As a GCU Day of Giving Ambassador, you have an opportunity to inspire support across areas that are meaningful to you.
WHAT IS A GCU DAY OF GIVING AMBASSADOR?
Ambassadors help spread the word about GCU’s Day of Giving and encourage support by reaching out to friends, family and peers in their own personal networks via social media, text and/or email. As an ambassador, you will help garner support for the program most important to you at GCU. Giving will officially launch at midnight on Thursday, Oct. 22, but the website will be open for early giving starting Tuesday, Sept. 1.
HOW DO I BECOME A DAY OF GIVING AMBASSADOR?
Sign up anytime! We will have one of our team contact you for your t-shirt size and send you a personalized tracking link to share on the Day of Giving.
