On March 27, 2023, alumni and friends will come together to support Pittsburg State University during our 24-hour giving campaign, Gorilla Giving Day. This unique fundraising event is the perfect opportunity to show your Gorilla pride by supporting the programs and priorities most meaningful to you.
This year on March 27th one of Pitt State’s oldest standing traditions, Apple Day, will celebrate the commemoration of the first building appropriation secured by Principal Russell S. Russ and school supporters in 1907. Still today, students, faculty, staff and supporters come together to celebrate this incredible milestone in Pittsburg State University history. As we begin new traditions we hope you participate in Gorilla Giving Day, an event inspired by Apple Day, to continue our purpose of supporting Pittsburg State University.
Join us for a fun evening at Brick + Mortar Social House on Monday, March 27 between 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. to wrap up this year's Gorilla Giving Day campaign. On hand for this special event will be PSU President Dan Shipp, along with "celebrity" bartenders. A limited menu and drinks (including non-alcoholic options) will be available, where all proceeds are being donated to PSU's 2023 Gorilla Giving Day efforts.
Growing Pitt State awareness, seeing Kansas communities (most of which are full of Gorillas!) up close, making college affordable for our students...what's the best way to do all of that at once? On a bike! Be part of the excitement as President Dan Shipp crosses the state on two wheels for our students!
