Get Ready to Stand Up & Holler on February 20, 2025
It's Almost Gator Nation Giving Day
On February 20, 2025, you are invited to Stand Up & Holler for the areas you care about most at UF!
Gators like you from around the world will join together for 24 hours to rally behind a shared mission – to support UF as it solves grand challenges and transforms the future of our state, nation and world.
The Gator Nation® is everywhere, but we’re strongest together. Your contribution and the combined power of our support will fuel discovery, drive innovation and expand opportunities across our global UF community.
Your Giving Day Impact
Since 2019, Gators from around the world have united to uplift the University of Florida during Gator Nation Giving Day. Below are just a few of the ways your generosity is transforming lives and communities across the Gator Nation.
You provide comfort to children and families treated
at
UF Health Shands Children's Hospital through programs like Child Life and Arts in Medicine. These
programs
aren't covered by insurance, but they play a critical role in helping young patients and
their
families cope and heal during their health care journeys.
You create hands-on learning for
students
