As part of the celebration, alumni, parents, friends, faculty, students and staff are invited to show their Scranton pride by supporting the campus programs and causes that ignite their passion for Scranton.
As of press time, more than 1,800 donors had already raised more than $400,000 for Scranton scholarships, service programs, athletics and student organizations; make your gift before midnight to join the movement and help us reach this year’s goal of 2,500 donors.
