SAN DIEGO - Torero Giving Day is the University of San Diego Athletic Department's first 24-hour online fundraising campaign to support student-athletes, individual sport programs and the athletic department.

This is your chance to show your Torero Pride by giving back. In return, the USD Athletic Department and student-athletes will give back through community service.

While the main focus will be on raising funds to provide the best possible experience for our student-athletes, we also aim to:

• Locate lost Torero alumni
• Strengthen the Torero Varsity Association
• Increase Torero alumni participation rate
• Address the Torero Pride Challenge program

A commitment to the community is a fundamental part of the University's culture and identity and USD Athletics has partnered with multiple organizations to provide service learning opportunities for Torero student athletes.

USD student-athletes, coaches and staff will donate one hour of community service for every $250 raised on Torero Giving Day. When you give to USD Athletics, we give back to the community.

Today is your day to give to your favorite sport programs. It's one day, let's show our Torero Pride!
