$3.4 Million for Jackrabbits

Story Published October 2026

When Jackrabbits work together, there’s nothing we can’t do.

The 10th annual One Day for STATE once again gave us record-breaking reasons to celebrate.

A total of 6410+ donors came together on Sept. 10, raising over $3.4 million to transform lives at SDSU, bolstering scholarships, academic programming, research, athletics and student support. 

The yellow and blue community celebrated, shared and gave. Most of all, we turned one day into countless new opportunities for our Jackrabbits family.
In just 24 hours, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, students and friends worked together to fuel support and uplift every corner of the university.

SDSU’s annual giving day has become a beloved tradition not because of the dollars raised, the nail-biting ambition of a 24-hour goal or even the programs impacted at the university.

What sets One Day for STATE apart are the people driving the event, connecting with a family of thousands of alumni and proving year after year that there’s nothing the yellow and blue community can’t do when we work together.

One Day for STATE is a testament to the bold things that can happen when ambition becomes tradition, and for SDSU, our annual giving day tradition is as bold as it gets.
