About

One Day, One Dayton is April 9

UD’s seventh annual day of giving will be one to remember!

Our 2025 goal is 6,000 donors like you who make a gift of any size to any area of the University. Join Flyers from down the street and around the world as we celebrate our community’s ability to make a collective impact. Help us reach our goal today!

At the University of Dayton, we don't just fly ... We Soar!
