It's Never Too Late to Make an Impact!
2025 Raising for `Runners Giving Day
When You Give, We Rise!

CSUB's fifth annual Giving Day is on April 8 through 9, from noon to noon! 


This initiative brings our alumni, employees, parents and friends of the university together to make a difference in our students' lives and elevate our programs. 


CSUB is the only four-year public institution within nearly 100 miles. The majority of students who attend CSUB stay in the region after graduation, making a positive impact in our community.


Through your Giving Day donation, you have transformed the lives of students and elevated our community. Thank you, `Runners!
