For the kids!
... in a nutshell. Indeed, it can be confusing as they change the rules. Still, in an effort to help explain the who, what, when, where, and why of ND Day 2021, we had an opportunity to the speak with the man himself, St. Ed. Here is what he had to say...
What is Notre Dame Day?
Notre Dame Day is the day of celebrating Notre Dame’s mission, a day that engages, informs, and inspires people to take action to further the mission of the University. We hope that you tune in, take action, vote and help the great work of Notre Dame’s OLDEST AND MOST STORIED RESIDENCE HALL- ST.EDWARD’S HALL.
Why is it important that you give?
Because the University has a HALF MILLION DOLLARS in challenge funds available to distribute among its residence halls and its various clubs, organizations, centers, and colleges. The amount St. Edward’s will receive depends on how many people we get to rally to our cause on ND Day.
How does St. Edward’s get votes and a slice of that half million dollar pie?
By getting donors to give $10 to St. Ed’s. That’s all it takes. If someone wants to give more than $10, then that’s great… but it doesn’t give an advantage when distributing the half million challenge fund. Still, ALL money given goes directly to the Hall.
Who can participate?
ANYONE... We need you, your parents, your family members, your friends, your high school teachers, and your pets to donate to St. Ed's. We need you to encourage your roommates and your dormmates to reach out to their network. SO ENCOURAGE ANY AND EVERYONE TO SELECT ST. EDWARD”S
How can I vote for St. Edward’s?
Click on the following link… NOW... voting is open!
What will St. Edward’s Hall do with its slice of the pie?
Lots of things! Type in “ND Day” in the search box on the Hall’s blog site, and see what we have done with last year’s funds. Still, check out what we’re hoping for this year by visiting our Hall blog site.
Isn’t St. Edward’s just being greedy?
NO. Perish the thought. Give because of the sake of giving… Give because of the potential tax breaks…and if not for that, then give because IT’S FOR THE KIDS!!!!
ND DAY is THIS Sunday and Monday, April 18th-19th.
