| A Day For Southern is a one-day
fundraising campaign that supports the current and
future needs of Georgia Southern University. The first
campaign was held in 1974 and raised over $60,000. In 1990, A Day For Southern became a joint
effort with the Georgia Southern University Foundation
and Southern Boosters, Inc. to meet both the academic
and athletic needs of the University.
Funds raised through A Day For Southern support
scholarships, faculty development, championship
athletics and the cultural programs that enrich our
region such as the Museum, the Wildlife Center, the
Botanical Garden, the Performing Arts Center and the Symphony. Thanks to programs
like these, Georgia Southern has grown in both size
and reputation.
For 31 years, contributions to the Georgia Southern
University Foundation, for academic programs and to the
Southern Boosters for athletics, have played an
indispensable role in building a greater Georgia
Southern. The Statesboro-Bulloch County community’s support,
coupled with the ongoing support of the faculty,
staff, and retired employees of Georgia Southern
University, continue to make this campaign successful.
