Subject Line: It’s time! UC Day of Giving is Today!
Dear NAME,
It is officially our UC Day of Giving. I just made my gift to (fund) and I am encouraging you to do the same.
Visit dayofgiving.uc.edu to make your gift and be a part of the action. You can lend a hand by posting about UC Day of Giving on social media and using #BearcatsGive to inspire Bearcats and friends in your network. The Bearcat community is always pushing the limits of what’s possible, so help us make this another record-breaking year.
The University of Cincinnati continues to play an important role in my life (share an anecdote if applicable). Together, we can elevate UC to provide the best experience possible for all Bearcats — past, present and future.
