How Can I Get Involved in One Day Give?
One Day Give is a one-day online giving campaign designed to inspire support from every member of the Millersville community. The theme for this year’s campaign is “Give To What You Love.” The 2024 One Day Give will be held on Wednesday, February 14, and the event will last for 24 hours!
Sharing your involvement with this year's event on social media is an important way you can get involved in the day. NEW THIS YEAR is a DIY Heart cut-out. Simply cut-out the heart, display on yourself or in your home, and share why you "give to what you love" at Millersville.
You can also change your Facebook profile picture, post to your social media pages, and sharing with friends is a quick and easy way to spread the word about the One Day Give. Your actions can inspire others to give back and support today's students.
The sample posts, templates, and logos (in the accordions below) are designed for your use to help publicize your involvement in Millersville University's One Day Give and help spread the word to your social media networks.
