1,798 Minutes to Make an Impact
A 30-HOUR CAMPAIGN BEGINNING AT 6:02 PM ON TUESDAY, OCT. 19

Support from our Cardinal Community is critical to the University of Louisville mission. When we come together to share our pride in UofL through gifts from the heart and personal philanthropy, nothing is out of our reach. Our annual day of giving, Raise Some L, is an opportunity for us to soar to the top. 

Together, for 1,798 minutes, we will Support. Share. Soar! 

Beginning at 6:02 p.m. on Oct. 19, Cardinals everywhere will come together to celebrate who we are and Raise Some L. This is a Cardinal call to action to all students, alumni, faculty, staff, and fans to do three simple things:

Show your support - Make a gift

Share our cause - Spread the word, #RaiseSomeL

Soar even higher - Pursue our goals like never before! 

It’s that simple.

The time is now. Let's #RaiseSomeL!
