FRANKLIN, Ind. - Franklin College is gearing up for its 14th annual "#GivetoGRIZ" next month. The annual 24-hour Day of Giving Challenge is scheduled for Wednesday, April 15.

Every dollar raised supports the Franklin Fund, giving the College the flexibility to direct resources where they are needed most. Donors may also choose to designate their gift to a specific area of interest.

This year's goal is to raise $300,000, with a minimum of 1,000 donors participating. Those wishing to donate during #GivetoGRIZ will find the URL at FranklinCollege.edu and on social media platforms during the event.   

The one-day giving challenge began in 2013. Each year, Franklin College has met and exceeded its goal. Last year was the most successful #GivetoGRIZ to date, raising $358,985.
