In a tight competition for the most donors, Football came away with the win to receive an additional $2,500. Foundation Board Chair Greg Collins ’79 challenged donors to come together to raise $1,500 to unlock $1,500 for the EOF Book Fund and $1,000 was unlocked from Foundation Board member Beth Gottung ’19 MA for the Emergency Scholarship Fund when $1,000 was raised. These are just some examples of how the challenges made for a very exciting day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe were so happy to once again promote participation with the Give a Latte Challenge, sponsored by our community partner, Java Love Roasting Co.,\u201d added Brennan. \u201cGive up your latte for one day, one week or one year, and receive $5 off at Jave Love. We are so grateful for their annual support of ONE DAY!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThe team behind the team, our ONE DAY Champions, took to social media and email to encourage others to participate in the day. Supplied with a toolkit of resources, our Champions were able to easily connect with others to promote ONE DAY. \u201cIt is important for me to give back and I always encourage others to join me,\u201d said\u00a0 Huron Benson \u201900, a ONE DAY champion.<\/span><\/p>\nCampus was buzzing with excitement. The impact of the day was felt throughout the campus community as we celebrated World\u2019s Fair Day, an annual celebration of Montclair\u2019s vibrant cultural community. Hundreds of students, faculty and staff gathered on Alumni Green to sample international foods, such as Korean BBQ bowls, tacos carnitas and samosas, and to enjoy performances by Montclair\u2019s student organizations.<\/span><\/p>\nAdditionally, Montclair faculty and staff brought their young Red Hawks to campus to celebrate Bring Your Child to Work Day. The energy from families, students, faculty and staff helped to spur support for many of the campus funds, which created exciting table activities based on donations to that program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIn total, over 2,000 donors came together to support Montclair on ONE DAY. We are incredibly grateful for this show of generosity and can\u2019t wait to start planning for next year! Please save the date for Thursday, April 23, 2026, for ONE DAY for Montclair, when we will celebrate our 10th anniversary of giving.
