Although all this shopping is done in the name of giving gifts to loved ones, often it feels like the goodwill of the holiday season fades into the background... Enter Giving Tuesday - a focused, global day of giving that provides an opportunity to give back to help others in need - a day truly focused on giving.
This year, Giving Tuesday lands on Tuesday, November 27.
For the second year in a row, the Georgia Southern University Athletic Foundation (GSUAF) has launched a Giving Tuesday campaign in support of student-athlete scholarships.
Scholarships that, for some, may be their only resource for a college education.
Rings, diplomas and leaders. That's the mission for Georgia Southern Athletics and the Athletic Foundation - to provide an opportunity for our nearly 400 student-athletes to represent the University on a national stage while competing for a championship ring, help them earn a college education and give them the resources and experiences to grow as leaders.
As the cost of excellence continues to increase, so does the need for Eagle Fund members.
One True Blue Eagle Fund membership ($120) barely covers one week of balanced meals for one student-athlete. That would mean it takes over 30 True Blue members to provide meals to one student-athlete for one academic year.
Join the journey with Eagle Athletics to help build the Eagles' nest. All of Eagle Nation's help is necessary to ensure that Georgia Southern's student-athletes are provided a strong foundation of education and experiences that will carry them into the future. Donate today at GSEagles.com/GivingTuesday.
Please consider giving a tax-deductible gift to the Eagle Fund to invest in current and future Georgia Southern student-athletes specifically. Contributions can even be made in honor or memory of someone. Donations can be made as a one-time gift or broken into monthly payments. No gift is too small, but the minimum contribution to become an Eagle Fund member is $120 ($10/month).
Even if you're already an Eagle Fund member, we encourage you to join our #GivingTuesday event on Facebook to learn more about the Eagle Fund, understand how contributions to our annual fund impact Georgia Southern Athletics and how you can help build the Eagles' nest. Track your Refer-An-Eagle progress by becoming an online fundraiser. Show your support on Facebook and update your profile picture.
The Athletic Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. All gifts made to the Eagle Fund are tax-deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law.

The Georgia Southern University Athletic Foundation's primary goal is to provide our student-athletes with the opportunity to compete for a championship ring and earn a college education while developing them as future leaders in their respective communities.
The mission of the Georgia Southern University Athletic Foundation, Inc. is to provide private financial support for athletic scholarships, facilities and staff enhancement for the Athletic Department of Georgia Southern University. All of the activities of the Athletic Foundation are conducted with the highest regard for academic and athletic excellence and within the guidelines established by the University System of Georgia Board of Regents, conference affiliations and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
