Hello Husky Families,

We hope you had an amazing Mother’s Day 💐

To all the incredible moms of UW — thank you for the love, support, encouragement, and strength you pour into your families and our community every single day. Your impact reaches far beyond campus, and we’re so grateful for everything you do. We’re here for you, always, just like how you are for us.

Yippee! 🎉

We were able to hit 100 gifts on Husky Giving Day, and have reached our THIRD milestone for our HGD campaign, which unlocks an additional $10,000 for our Huskies! When UW Families give together, we unlock more for students. As our community hits each milestone, a generous Bellevue family releases the next chunk of challenge funds. 🎯

In addition to all the generous gifts, that's an additional $15,000 for our Huskies! 📣

Thank you to the Pack for banding together to create a difference for our Huskies. Your support, whether big or small, shapes the future for our students 🐾

Hello, Husky Families! 🐾

We would like to share with you some information on our upcoming Husky Giving Day on April 23, 2026! 📣

Husky Giving Day (HGD) is a 24-hour period where Husky Families across all campuses unite to support the UW and its students, faculties, and departments. Ranging from various programs, resources, and more, these campaigns will be used to fuel the future for our Huskies.

The Parent & Family Fund will have 4 categories that can be given to:
💜 Purple & Gold Forever (Husky Experience)
💛 UW Families Power Student Success (Career/Major Readiness, Mental Health Support, Personal Safety Services, and more)
💜 Campus Community Safety
💛 Putting Students First (Student Support & Resources)

On HGD, we will have various challenge milestones, where each gift will bring us closer to unlocking additional funding:
🐾 25 gifts before HGD → $5,000 unlocked
🐾 50 gifts by noon on HGD → another $5,000
🐾 100 gifts by end of day → $10,000
🐾 2 President's Circle families by midnight → final $5,000.

🎯 Our current [25 gifts before HGD → $5,000 unlocked] campaign is currently at 84% completion! If you would like to give early before HGD, please visit the link in our bio.

As a thank you for the support towards empowering our Huskies, we also have UW Family Scarf Rewards for those who give over $50. We have limited bundles available, so join in while you can!

💜 When you give, you power the UW's people, programs and possibilities. The UW is powered by YOU! 💛

📍 To learn more about what it means to give, you can visit the Linktree in our bio, or visit: together.uw.edu/i/hgd.
