The event will concentrate on general scholarships for potential enrollees and will be open for students, faculty and staff to contribute.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The all-day fundraising mission will include a write-in option to support a particular fund or area of campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re pushing that because it\u2019s very instrumental and transformational for students,\u201d said Dane Dreiling, director of the annual Giving Day. \u201cEverybody can be involved. We have different areas of campus that have champions who are championing different causes that are important to them. We also have some businesses in town giving 10% of their sales proceeds towards the Giving Day cause.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Foundation\u2019s focus for this year\u2019s event is to give scholarships to students who might not be able to attend Fort Hays or accomplish personal goals while encouraging donors to forge their pathway to a successful education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Robbins Center is the perfect place to do so,\u201d Dreiling said. \u201cThey can drop something off, but we also have our online website where they can make a contribution or send a check to PO Box 1060 in Hays. Any of those ways (would help), and those are the best ways to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dreiling wants Giving Day to induce a sense of family in the Fort Hays community for donors and students who partake in the event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt will help people feel connected to the university and Fort Hays\u2019 goals,\u201d he said. \u201cIt will also help people feel connected to the students to make them feel like they\u2019re part of the Tiger family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online contributions can be made at <a href=\"https:\/\/fhsugivingday.com\/pages\/home-2481\">https:\/\/fhsugivingday.com\/pages\/home-2481<\/a>. Donors can receive Fort Hays merchandise for contributing: Donate $10+ for a sticker, $50+ for a mouse pad and sticker, and $100+ for a deck of cards, mouse pad and sticker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By RORY MOORE Tiger Media Network The Fort Hays State University Foundation\u2019s fifth annual Giving Day will take place April 8 to assist new students&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":85791,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3397,3398,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-area-news","category-campus-news","category-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Giving-Day-2025.png?fit=1136%2C406","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=85790"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":85792,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85790\/revisions\/85792"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/85791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=85790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=85790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=85790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
