Penguin Day of Giving
2026 Penguin Day of Giving
Penguin Day of Giving is more than a fundraising event. It's a celebration of the pride, passion, and community that make Youngstown State Athletics so special.
For 24 hours, alumni, fans, parents, friends, and supporters come together with one shared purpose: to create new opportunities for our student-athletes. Every gift counts, every donor makes a difference, and every team benefits from the incredible generosity of the Penguin family.
I invite you to join us, make your gift, encourage others to participate, and help us show what can be accomplished when Penguins come together. Thank you for standing with our student-athletes and helping shape the future of Penguins Athletics.
