The Office of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving has initiated the Fall 2024 Student Organization Challenge, aiming to support student groups in their fundraising efforts. Eighteen student organizations have been selected to participate in this event.

Participants will compete for the highest number of unique donors by the end of the challenge. In addition to funds raised through donations, the Student Experience team is offering $1,750 in challenge dollars. These incentives include "$250 to the first organization to reach 50 donors," "$500 to the first organization to reach 100 donors," and "$1,000 to the student organization with the highest number of donors at the end of the challenge."

The campaign encourages contributions that can assist these groups in various ways such as "funding a new project, hosting an event or enhancing their operations." Donations are seen as crucial for bolstering campus life by fostering community engagement and supporting students' endeavors.

The challenge is set to conclude on December 3, 2024. For more information about participating organizations and their objectives, visit cc.syr.edu/rsochallenge.
