CHATTANOOGA (September 25, 2024) --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's annual 'Mocs Give Day' is right around the corner with the yearly tradition commencing on Tuesday, October 1, this time around in 2024.
This year's Mocs Give Day is coming off the heels of a record 2023 output in which more than $1.7 million from 2,131 donors was raised across all campus efforts.
Athletics alone…?
"Mocs Give Day is one of my favorite days of the year," Vice Chancellor for Athletics Mark Wharton shared. "It's a day where our community comes together in a special way. It impacts every aspect of the student-athlete experience and provides each of our coaching and support staffs with the tools to compete at the highest levels.
"While it is just one day, it makes a day-to-day difference in our department as a whole."
The funds raised towards Athletics during this initiative directly provides student-athletes in a variety of ways, including equipment, sports medicine, performance training, nutrition and educational assistance. The generous donations provide an immediate impact in bettering the overall experience.
This year's goals are lofty as set forth by the Mocs Club staff, who looks to continue its impressive fundraising momentum that has spanned over the past several years.
Goals in 2024…
To help reach these goals, 12 different challenges have been laid out by Mocs Club members throughout the day with gift amounts ranging from $1,000 - $15,000 in size. The day-long marathon, along with challenge initiatives, is celebrated across social media platforms including @MocsClub (X/Twitter & Instagram) and @GoMocs (X/Twitter). From midnight-to-midnight, donors have the chance to win various forms of Mocs memorabilia including official Adidas team gear, signed items and more.
All gifts toward the Annual Fund will achieve eligibility into these special giveaways. The first 250 donors who give $100 or more will automatically receive a special Mocs belt bag, as well as earning entries into additional giveaways.
