Today — May 5 — is Giving Tuesday Now, a global day of philanthropy and unity which is an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.

It was previously announced that the first $10,000 donated to the University of Windsor today would be matched by a generous donation from Bernarda Camello-Doctor. Since then, to challenge the broader University of Windsor community to support students, she has doubled her own gift. The first $20,000 donated to UWindsor today will now be matched.

To make a donation supporting UWindsor students, visit www.uwindsor.ca/givingtuesday.

Tune in at noon today to a live broadcast about the day of giving, with guests including UWindsor president Robert Gordon and Beth Ann Prince, president of the Alumni Association. You can tune in at www.facebook.com/UWindsor by clicking on the post with the broadcast.
