Let's Aim for 4,500 Donors in Two Days!
It’s time to rise and shout for BYU football, homecoming events, Cosmo antics—and Giving Cougsday! On October 13-14, 2026, we’re calling on all students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends to “share your light” and make a gift of any amount.
You decide where your dollars make an impact; whether it is inspiring learning, athletics, alumni chapter scholarships, or a specific college initiative, the choice is yours. Giving Cougsday donations directly support students.
Remember, it’s participation that matters. Every gift brings us closer to our 4,500-donor goal, and the more important goal of helping deserving students.
