2025 Raising for `Runners Giving Day
When you Give, We Rise!
CSUB's fifth annual Giving Day is coming 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!
