Are you up for a Challenge?

Pitt-Greensburg President, Sharon Smith has put forth her challenge: if 150 donors (students, faculty, staff and friends) contribute $5 or more to Pitt'-Greensburg's Tech for the Future Challenge, President Smith will make a donation of $1000 to our campus.

Bruiser has also initiated a challenge. If 50 students contribute $5 or more. Their names will be placed into a drawing for a very special prize, to be hand delivered to them by Bruiser, himself!

The PITT Day of Giving celebrates the founding of the University of Pittsburgh and provides another opportunity to participate in the Partners in Excellence campaign while also supporting the campus' Day of Giving challenge goals. If PItt-Greensburg is among the leaders for the participation during PITT Day of Giving, it would receive additional funding through the University of Pittsburgh's incentive program.
