Join us on Purdue Day of Giving for our final performance of the season!
With your help, Convos can earn up to $25,750 extra by participating in challenges. These are simple, social media-based tasks that you can do on April 26th. If you plan to give to Convos during PDOG, splitting your payments into smaller gifts will help us. The more gifts we receive, even if from the same person, the more money that we can win from the Meet the Challenge Competition. Note that the minimum gift size for PDOG is $10. For example, if you want to donate $50 on PDOG, giving five $10 gifts would help us in this challenge. Even if you are making a larger gift, breaking up your payment into smaller increments will allow us to crush this challenge.
