Giving Tuesday celebrations
Sprinkles return to campus on Dec. 3 to celebrate Giving Tuesday—a global day of philanthropy after the sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday—and this year’s plans are bigger than ever before.
Over the last three years, the UVic campus and alumni community have raised over $83,000. These gifts have helped students launch rockets, host conferences, attend competitions and travel overseas to do volunteer work. Together, these opportunities help make the UVic student experience extraordinary—much like added "sprinkles" are to a cupcake or cookie.
On Dec. 3, join in the fun around campus and help add sprinkles of your own:
- 8 a.m. – noon: Proceeds from coffee sales—$1 from drip & $2 from specialty—at participating Food Services locations will support the Giving Tuesday faculty-selected funds.
- 9 a.m. – 3 p.m: Play a life size game of monopoly with a twist—Philanthr-opoly—for a chance to win prizes and have TD Bank Group donate $10 to the Giving Tuesday Fund of your choice.
- 9 a.m. – 3 p.m: Visit the University Centre to take an #UnSelfie with FourFrames Photo Booth and “Chill and Charge” in the Used.ca lounge.
- 11 a.m. – 1 p.m: Try your luck in the Coast Capital Savings Giving Machine and help us unlock up to $1,000 for the Giving Tuesday fund of your choice. Also in the University Centre.
Other ways to support Giving Tuesday
You can also participate in Giving Tuesday by donating online or texting "sprinkle" to 20222 to make a donation of $5.
Order a Giving Gram (a delicious Cakes Etc. sprinkle cookie) to be delivered to a faculty or staff member who has helped make your UVic experience extraordinary.
