(KLZA)-- Peru State College, is excited to celebrate their upcoming Giving Week, which begins September 1.

Giving Week highlights the spirit of generosity and community that has sustained Peru State College for more than 155 years. Giving Week is not just about donations—it- about coming together as alumni, friends, and supporters to honor the tradition of excellence that began here and continues to shape the future for our students.

Your support during Giving Week is vital to the continued success of Peru State College. Gifts of any size make a meaningful impact on scholarships, academic programs, athletics, and campus improvements that enrich the student experience. When you give, you’re investing in opportunities that empower students to thrive, ensuring that the legacy of the Campus of a Thousand Oaks remains strong for generations to come.

There will be campaigns supporting various Academic or Athletic needs. Donors also can give to something that they love where they have an opportunity to designate their gift to any area on campus that means the most to them.

Donors may give funds to the Blue and White Fund through which the Foundation provides funding to help maintain a vibrant campus culture.

To add an extra layer of excitement, the Foundation has arranged several challenges and matches.

This year, a generous donor has stepped forward with a $25,000 match to inspire Bobcats everywhere to give. Even more exciting—the donor will contribute an additional $10,000 if the Foundation reaches its overall goal of $100,000 during Giving Week.

To date there are sixteen different challenges and/or matches in addition to the overall $25,000 opportunity. These challenges are powerful reminders of the College's impact while hoping to inspire others to give back. They highlight the importance of Peru State College and how, through collective effort, remarkable things can be achieved.

More matches and/or challenges could be added before the official start of Giving Week. If you have a challenge in mind, contact the Foundation office.
