Athens State University will host its 5th<\/sup> annual Giving Day on Tuesday, August 4, 2026. Athenian Giving Day was established for the Athens State community to come together and lend financial support to students and campus initiatives.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s goal is to raise $75,000 in 24 hours. The Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention will generously provide a $25,000 matching gift. The first 150 donors who make an online gift of $50 or more will receive an Athens State University gift.<\/p>\n

Giving Day donations will be disbursed among various student programs and campus projects; however, donors may designate their contribution to a specific program or initiative. Last year, 95 donors and the Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention made Giving Day a success by donating $133,745.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiving Day at Athens State University is a celebration of what we can accomplish together,\u201d said Chelsea Green, Donor Relations, Annual Fund, and Advancement Services Director. \u201cWhether you\u2019re giving back as an alumnus, supporting a cause you\u2019re passionate about, or making your very first gift, every contribution helps create opportunities for our students and strengthens the future of our university.\u201d<\/p>\n
