#GRIZTuesday Returns Dec. 1 to Support Franklin College Athletics
Franklin College will host its seventh annual #GRIZTuesday, a 24-hour online fundraiser, on Tuesday, Dec. 1. All donations will support Grizzly athletics, with a goal of raising $220,000.
“GRIZTuesday is one day, but its impact lasts all year,” said Nora Brems, Franklin College vice president for institutional advancement. “When the Franklin College community comes together, every gift, regardless of size, adds up to something bigger: more opportunities for our student-athletes and a stronger future for Grizzly athletics.”
“Athletics is at the heart of the Franklin experience, and GRIZTuesday is the day our community shows it,” said Franklin College Vice President Andrew A. Hendricks. “Support on this day provides the resources that help our students grow as athletes, leaders and scholars and helps us build programs that attract the next generation of Grizzlies.”
The college plans to use social media, especially Facebook, TikTok and Instagram, to market the 24-hour fundraising effort, along with email and other college-owned communication channels.
The giving link will be released on the college’s social media platforms beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 1. The giving-day page will display a real-time running tally of the number of donors and dollars raised for each team, as well as an overall total.
