RELATED: UD student gives back to the hospital that saved his life
In the 2016 campaign, 100 families were served by donations to Homefull, more than 1,200 shirts went to St. Vincent de Paul and about 2,000 people donated to the I Love UD scholarship fund and other UD programs, according to the university.
"Those who get involved not only demonstrate their affinity for this special place, but also take an active step in supporting the University's mission in multiple ways," said Jennifer Howe, vice president for advancement.
Below are the ways UD is encouraging people to participate:
1. Make a blanket for Dayton Children's Hospital. Supplies will be provided. Find dates and locations at udayton.edu/iloveud.
