CSUSB celebrates another record-breaking Giving Tuesday

Cal State San Bernardino’s Giving Tuesday campaign had another record-breaking year, raising over $155,000 by approximately 500 donors to support student scholarships, essential resources and programs across the university.

Taking place on Dec. 2 as part of the global Giving Tuesday movement, this year’s mystery-themed campaign exceeded last year’s total of more than $118,000, reflecting continued momentum behind CSUSB’s student-centered mission.

To celebrate the Global Day of Giving and mark the conclusion of the university-wide CSUSB Giving Tuesday campaign, the campus community came together for a variety of engaging activities hosted by the Office of Annual Giving, University Advancement and various CSUSB fundraising groups. Attendees enjoyed snacks, activities and plenty of Coyote spirit — all while supporting vital student resources across the San Bernardino and Palm Desert campuses.

Donuts with Detective Cody gave attendees the opportunity to meet CSUSB’s mascot and grab a donut. Participants also enjoyed refreshments, made memories at the photobooth, and took part in the Coyote Passport Challenge by exploring event tables, collecting stamps and entering to win CSUSB giveaways.

As state and federal funding continues to fall short, CSUSB remains committed to bridging the gap through the generosity of its donors. Contributions support programs, such as the Obershaw DEN food pantry, which provides warm meals and support for students facing food insecurity across both campuses.
