Whether it’s your first or your thousandth email from Gonzaga, the feelings that wash over every Zag are the same when you’re asked to give back.
Get ready, because you’re about to go through it all again.
1. The excitement when it hits your inbox. “Gonzaga? I LOVE Gonzaga! I can’t wait to see what this is about!”
2. “Hold on…you’re asking for money?”
3. Fury. “HOW COULD YOU!?”
4. But then you’re distracted by the stories of all the Zags you’d be helping. “I should check these out…”
5. It goes straight to your heart. Here come all the feelings.
6. Every good time you had at Gonzaga floods back to you.
7. Then you see that gifts made TODAY (that’s right, it’s ZAGS GIVE DAY) can be doubled or will unlock big money for students.
8. Passionate frenzy. “I’m ALL IN! Where can I give NOW?”
9. YEAH! You scored, making your gift in the nick of time!
10. Finally, you think about how giving back is part of being a Zag, and that you just “paid it forward” for the next generation.
BONUS STAGE: You start planning when you’ll give and what you’ll support at Gonzaga next year (hint: make it easy on yourself and set up a recurring gift).
So, what are you waiting for? Go All In for Zags Give Day at gonzaga.edu/zagsgiveday.
