THANK YOU

Donors from around the country and globe came together to invest, celebrate and engage for Giving Day at the University of Utah and University of Utah Health. We are so thankful for the thoughtful outpouring support and generosity. 

Thank you so much for supporting the University of Utah during this special 175th Anniversary year.


Running late? You can still make a gift. Check back later this week for final numbers!


There are some left! All donors who make a gift of $175 or more via the Giving Day platform, up to 750 donors, will receive a Brick-It Block U set. Brick-Its will be mailed after Giving Day to donors while supplies last.
