Giving Tuesday
Dec. 2
Join us and make a donation this GivingTuesday, as the Memorial community comes together once again to support our students! No matter the size of your donation or where you direct it, your support helps students reach their full potential during their time at Memorial. All donations to any area at Memorial will be matched - 100% of your donation will go to the area you choose to support, while the matching donation, up to a total of $70,000, will go to the Thriving Student fund! Your donation will have twice the impact for students.
All GivingTuesday donors will be entered for a Centennial prize draw. Make a donation for a chance to win Centennial swag!
For 2025, donations to the Thriving Student Fund will also support the Memorial 100 Scholarships. The goal is to provide 100 scholarships of $1,000 to undergraduate and graduate students across all programs and campuses.
Please join us for complimentary coffee, cookies and prizes at the St. John’s campus from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the University Centre (outside the Landing); at Marine Institute from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. in the Main Lobby on Ridge Road, and at Grenfell Campus at 10:30 a.m. in the Atrium.
