BUA Sets New Record on Giving Day 2025
On Giving Day 2025, the BUA community showed up in full force –– and proved what’s possible when we rally around a shared purpose. While we came just shy of our 500-donor goal with 448 total donors, the generosity of our community unlocked our first four challenge levels and raised a record-breaking $121,040 for BUA’s top priorities. Small-but-mighty BUA placed second in number of total donors out of all of BU’s schools and colleges, coming in behind only the much larger College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). We also secured an extra $1,000 in bonus funds by winning the “Breakfast of Champions” early giving challenge, logging the most donors between 6:00-9:00 a.m. on Giving Day.
During lunch on Giving Day, BUA students wrote thank-you notes to alumni donors, earning a dumpling for each note they wrote. And Director of Athletics Dave Stone’s alter ego, hockey star Mario LeStone, made an appearance on BUA’s social channels, encouraging donors to “get off the bench and get in the game” on Giving Day 2025.
The support of our community fuels everything we do. Watch a heartfelt thank you video from BUA Head of School Chris Kolovos here.
