March 19, 2026, is Marian University's annual day of giving, Day for the Knights! This day is dedicated to bolstering our favorite schools, teams, programs, and clubs, all while supporting our Knights—present and future. Whether you are on campus, an alum, a parent of a student, or simply a friend of Marian, we need your help!
Wondering how to get involved? Start here:
MAKE YOUR GIFT
Once the giving page opens, donate before or on March 19, to whichever school, team, or program you’d like.
INVITE A FRIEND (OR TWO) TO JOIN YOU
Ask your friends, family, and colleagues to join you in making a gift to Marian University. If you’re feeling inspired, share on your social media—your reach can make a huge difference in a student’s life!
JOIN OF HOST AN EVENT
Do you work on-campus and want to get your office involved? Great! This day is just as much about vibrancy and fun as it is about fundraising. Let the Office of Advancement know what you’re planning by contacting dgaidosh@marian.edu.
Are you off campus, but looking for a reason to get together with fellow alumni? Amazing! Use this as an excuse. Celebrate Day for the Knights your own way!

Thank you for being a part of Day for the Knights 2025! Despite tornado warnings the night prior and sleet during our day-of celebrations, I'm happy to report that we had another record-breaking day of giving.
Day for the Knights was supported by 1,476 donors, grand totaling $330,695—a new high for dollars fundraised!
This day will support so many of our Knights, present and future. Because of our generous community, our mission advanced that much further yesterday (and the days leading up). Thank you again, and go Knights!
Thank You, Knights Fans!
