Thanks for going all in during GIVE2COO 2020!

Our USF family is amazing! Thank you for showing such spirit, generosity and pride during GIVE2COO 2020! As a community, you have truly lived out our Culture for Service motto and are shaping a better world during and beyond this moment. 

 

THANKS2YOU, a record-breaking $250,217  was raised thanks to the generosity of 279 donors!

 

These days of giving would not be possible without our cougar family coming together and we are grateful for your impact on all of our students with gifts to the USF Fund, Academic Scholarships, Fine Arts and Athletics.

 

This would not have been possible without you and we are so grateful to have your support! You went all in for our students, you banded together to help each other, and you got us ready for the future.
