Nearly 40% of the Purdue Bands & Orchestras annual budget comes from the generosity of our alumni and friends. Purdue Day of Giving makes your gifts go even further by helping us win additional bonus funds throughout the day. By participating in hourly giving challenges and unique social media contests all day long, you can win thousands of bonus dollars for the department.
Follow along on the Purdue Bands & Orchestras Facebook page for the entire 24-hour event to participate and see the results of hourly challenges in real time.
