PrizesGive to Gustavus Day

It feels good to give. It feels even better to give someone else’s money.

This Thursday, you can win a chance to designate money from our prize pool to something you love at Gustavus. All you have to do is post on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram about why you choose to give on Give to Gustavus Day. Use the hashtags #FireUpTheRouser, #WhyGustavus, or #GoGusties, and you’ll be entered into our drawing. (Make sure your post is public so we can find it!)

We will choose four people on Thursday, at 8 am, noon, 4 pm and 8 pm. If your name is drawn, you’ll get to designate $250 to your favorite corner of Gustavus. Our final prize winner will be the last donor of the night. Who will squeeze in their last gift at 9:59 pm? It's a race to the end!

That’s what’s called a win-win.
