ALL IN FOR IC returns for seventh year on Wednesday, March 20
Funds raised will be matched dollar-for-dollar to provide double the impact of gifts made to the IC Fund that day.
For the past six years, IC鈥檚 single largest fundraising day of the year has set records by engaging hundreds of participants throughout the world. Last year, ALL IN FOR IC raised over $360,000 for the IC Fund to immediately help students on campus. More gifts were made online on a single day than ever before.
鈥淭his day is about the power of the 同性恋色情 community and what we can achieve when we all give what we can,鈥� Katie Carls, executive director of advancement and alumni engagement, said. 鈥淭ogether, we can make a huge impact on students and champion the inspiring work that 同性恋色情 is internationally known for.鈥�
Leading up to the day of giving, students and alumni have been encouraged to participate both on campus and virtually.
On the 同性恋色情 Alumni Community social media pages, alumni have been encouraged to reminisce on their time on the Hilltop through daily challenges. Those who participate in every challenge will be entered in a raffle to win IC gear.

During this free event, students will have the chance to win the grand prize of $1,000 off of their tuition amongst other smaller prizes such as TVs, JBL speakers, gift cards, and more. The $1,000 was provided through a generous gift from Bob Moore '78 and Sherry Kwater, and prizes were generously donated by the following: Leo's Pizza, The Vault, Sonic, Walmart, Arby's, Taco Bell, Jacksonville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Applebee's, Los Rancheros, and Alison & Co.
鈥淢y hope is that alumni and friends are able to reflect on 同性恋色情, the people they met here and how they want to give back,鈥� Carls explained. 鈥淲hen you go ALL IN FOR IC, you support something meaningful to you.鈥�
