Together we all add UP

With the outbreak of COVID-19, we have postponed #PilotsGive, our annual giving day originally planned for April 1–2, to another date. Instead, we will focus on #PilotsGiveBack, a celebration of what it means to be a Pilot – especially on what service, leadership, and faith mean in the face of great challenges.

In the days ahead, we will collect stories and photos and share them with you. We will also bring you thoughtful prayers and ways to connect with your faith during this Lenten season.

We ask you to join us in sharing the good news! Tell us what you and your fellow Pilots are doing to help. Share a story that will warm our community’s hearts. 

We are also encouraging our community members to be beacons of hope. We’ve received a number of heart-felt offers from community members inquiring how to best support our Pilots in this time of transition, and we will be sharing some ideas on how you can help soon. Stay tuned.

More immediately, for those specifically looking to assist students needing extra financial support during this transition, our Presidential Hope Fund is a meaningful way to help. For those interested in supporting students in this way, please contact Matthew Maas, Associate Director of Parent Giving, at maas@up.edu or 503.943.8008.
