MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - The Millersville Marauders take pride in competing at the highest level, and on Thursday, Feb. 24, as part of Millersville University's annual One Day Give, supporters can compete against fellow alumni and fans to multiply their gifts and score additional funds for their favorite teams. 

The 2021 One Day Give was a record-setting day for Millersville Athletics fundraising, and the department looks to replicate that feat in 2022 with the support of its friends and fans. The One Day Give is a significant annual fundraising event for Millersville Athletics. It helps provide scholarship funds and program support for student-athletes. The theme for the One Day Give is once again "Give to What You Love," and alumni and supporters are encouraged to share their gifts and messages on social media to spread awareness of the event. 

An athletics leaderboard returns, and there is incentive to finish at the top, so each gift and each dollar can be multiplied for the program. The top men's and women's teams with the highest percentage of alumni donor participation will receive $2,500 in scholarships to their programs. 

The men's and women's teams with the most gifts at the conclusion of the One Day Give will receive an additional $1,000 gift. The men's and women's teams with the highest total in total dollars raised will receive an additional $1,000. Both of these challenges are sponsored by the Millersville University Alumni Association.

Additionally, the top men's and women's teams with the highest amount raise compared to their total from last year's One Day Give will receive an additional $1,000, and the teams with the greatest increase in donors will also receive an additional $1,000. 

Millersville Athletics corporate sponsor Northwestern Mutual has also agreed to donate $100 for each of the first 100 gifts--up to $10,000. 

If supporters are interested in starting a named scholarship for as little as $50 per month, please contact Assistant Director of Athletics Fundraising, Chelsey Wirth via email (chelsey.wirth@millersville.edu).
