class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blue and White supporters united like never before during Georgia Southern University&#8217;s second annual Only for Southern: 24 Hours of Eagle Giving campaign held in early March. In just 24 hours, 1,561 Eagle Nation donors came together for a single cause: to uplift Georgia Southern through generosity, spirit and pride. The result was outstanding: $534,487 raised to make a difference in the lives of the University community. This remarkable outpouring of support builds on the success of our inaugural giving day held March 26\u201327, 2024, when 900 passionate donors united to raise $50,000. That first effort lit a spark \u2014 and this year, the flame burned brighter than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A WORLDWIDE WAVE OF GENEROSITY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only for Southern has become more than just a campaign \u2014 it\u2019s a growing collective effort. In 2024, donors from 34 states and 4 countries (United Kingdom, Spain, France and Germany) joined the cause. This year, the reach expanded ever further. Supporters from 39 states and 12 countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania, Norway, Georgia and Thailand, were represented. From Statesboro to Stockholm, from Savannah to Bangkok, Eagles everywhere raised their voices \u2014 and their support for Georgia Southern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>MORE THAN A UNIVERSITY: A FAMILY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgia Southern is more than a school. It\u2019s a close-knit community built on loyalty, pride and the shared belief that we rise by lifting others. Only for Southern reflects that belief, showing that when we come together, there\u2019s no limit to what we can accomplish. Every dollar given is a direct investment in student scholarships, academic innovation, faculty development, athletics and community outreach. Whether it\u2019s helping first-generation students achieve their dreams or advancing research that changes lives, the impact is lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LOOKING AHEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The momentum is real, and the future is bright. Remember to mark your calendars \u2014 Only for Southern returns in 2026. This is your chance to unite with fellow Eagles and make a tangible difference in the lives of our students, faculty and community. Together, we\u2019re creating opportunities, empowering student success and building a legacy that will soar for generations to come. Because when it comes to making a difference, we do it Only for Southern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-primary-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ab2ce2f4 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f81c5b9c13574fa812db178b8fbc3636\">ONLY FOR SOUTHERN: A SOARING IMPACT<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5da665a3d2198dfae130d0a34c82f057 wp-block-paragraph\">2024<br>900 donors<br>$50,000 raised<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8680a046d357d95792d1ab6bf03497f9 wp-block-paragraph\">2025<br>1,561 donors<br>$534,487 raised<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>$125 Million $127.8 Million $300 Million by December 31, 2030.
