Thanks to everyone who made this #OneDayforSTATE our best one yet! 

Dear <<insert name>>:

Big things can happen when Jackrabbits come together. Last year, we rose to the challenge during One Day for STATE, raising $3.2 million for Jackrabbits in just 24 hours.

On September 10, we’ll do it again! The objectives are simple: to rally Jackrabbits everywhere to share their passion for the yellow and blue and celebrate all it means to be a part of STATE. 

I am asking you to help us reach our goal of once again rallying 5,000 donors in 24 hours by marking your calendar and making a gift at <<insert your unique URL>> on September 10 during the 10th annual One Day for STATE. And if you want to take it a step further and join me as a digital volunteer that day, visit onedayforstate.org to learn more!

Together, we can make a difference for our current and future Jackrabbits.

Sincerely, 

<<insert your name>>
 

Dear <<insert name>>:

One Day for STATE is finally here! Today, all gifts – no matter the size – can make a difference for Jackrabbits. I hope you’ll join me as we celebrate the 10th annual One Day for STATE! 

Visit <<insert your unique URL>> and make a gift to a college or program that matters to you. With the help of today’s challenge donors, your gift can go even farther.

SDSU played an important part of my life thanks to the generosity of others. Now, I want to pay it forward by giving back. I hope you will join me. 

5,000 donors in 24 hours. It’s a bold goal, but there’s nothing the Jackrabbit family can’t do when we work together.
