To mark its 47th birthday, UFV hosted its first annual Community Giving Days from April 5-7 to raise funds for two distinct programs — the UFV Cascades (athletics) and student refugees.
Countless students have struggled financially over the past year as a result of COVID-19. UFV student-athletes are no exception. Many cannot afford to attend post-secondary without the help of financial aid. The funds raised during over the past week will assist several student-athletes hoping to pursue an education and the sport they love.
In January of 2020, in partnership with the World University Service Committee, UFV sponsored its first student refugee, providing financial support for tuition, technology, food, transportation, clothing, and housing. The funds raised through our Community Giving Days will enable one more student refugee to attend UFV in the coming year.
On behalf of those students who will benefit from your generosity, we extend a heartfelt thank you to all who supported UFV’s Community Giving Days. Stay tuned for 2022 when we will feature additional programs across UFV!
