The University of South Alabama community gave more than $95,000 for the University and USA Health during its fourth annual USA Giving Day on April 22. During the 24-hour online fundraising drive, 234 donors supported South’s priorities including scholarships, student emergency funds, social justice initiatives and USA Health programs. 

Margaret Sullivan, vice president for development and alumni relations, said she is grateful for the community’s ongoing support, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“The past year has been extraordinarily difficult for everyone, including our alumni, faculty, staff and students,” Sullivan said. “Their continued support and investment in the University’s and USA Health’s programs is incredibly generous and inspiring.”

Priorities highlighted on Giving Day included Where the Need is Greatest, the Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative, South CARES, College of Medicine CARES, Jags Unite for student athletes, USA Health Fund for Excellence and the Leadership in Social Justice and Perseverance Scholarship.

The annual one-day campaign has ended; however, donations can be made to the University and USA Health by calling (251) 460-7032.
