MSU Billings annual ‘Jacket Giving Day set for March 23-24

The annual Montana State University Billings ‘Jacket Giving Day will be held March 23-24, and the campus is Buzz-ing with excitement as we unite the ‘Jacket hive to directly impact the student experience at MSU Billings. Starting Thursday, March 23, 2023, we will count down 1,927 minutes of online fundraising — in honor of the institution’s founding date — starting at 9 a.m. on March 23 and ending at 5:07 p.m. on Friday, March 24. This two-day friend raising event supports the projects and programs that mean the most at MSU Billings. From needs in all areas of program expansion and equipment upgrades, to scholarships to help our students get a head start, there is something for everyone to support on ‘Jacket Giving Day.

Since 2018, Jacket Giving Day has raised over $250,000+ that has directly impacted students and staff at MSUB, thus making a tremendous impact in the lives of our students. Once again, we thank you for your continued support of the students at MSUB. This year’s ‘Jacket Giving Day focuses on three major categories: Areas of Critical Needs, Academic Centers & Institutes, and Yellowjacket Athletics – with over 28 projects.

The goal is to engage 900 donors to give, get involved, and make an impact at this year’s ‘Jacket Giving Day. Please rise to the challenge and support our campus community. Make a gift starting today, help spread the word about these projects, and ask your friends and family to donate on ‘Jacket Giving Day. Forward the emails you receive, and share posts from our Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram accounts. Read about the projects and programs you can support, see how to join the buzz on social media, and give a gift that will make a lasting impact.
