For each gift of $30 or more, participants will receive an exclusive pair of Day of Giving socks with a special print only available for Day of Giving 2024. With a gift of $75, participants are eligible to receive a UWF speaker cooler, while supplies last.

The UWF Alumni and Development teams will host a drive-thru and walk-up Day of Giving breakfast at Museum Plaza, 120 Church Street in downtown Pensacola from 7:30 to 9 a.m. The Argo2Go food truck will be serving grab-n-go breakfast. Attendees who RSVP will receive a free breakfast entree and beverage while supplies last.
