Hello Retrievers and Valued Riders,

We hope this message finds you well. We have an incredible opportunity to make a meaningful impact by participating in the Black & Gold Rush—UMBC's annual fundraising campaign dedicated to supporting our students. The Black & Gold Rush is more than a fundraising campaign; it is a chance to showcase the impact of our work and rally our community to support UMBC students. This year's goal is 1,966 donors; every gift helps strengthen student programs and services. Just $10 will go a long way in supporting our students.

The campaign begins tomorrow, March 5, at 9 AM through March 6, at 9 PM EST, but you can donate today! And our areas of priority and focus as the Division of Student Affairs (DoSA) are:

1. Health & Wellbeing

2. Student Support/Basic Needs

3. Transformative Experiences

Dr. Kersh will donate up to $1,000 for each priority area as a matching bonus to our gifts. So, let's join in and encourage students, colleagues, and campus partners to participate and give to a great cause.

We will promote this campaign on social media using #BlackAndGoldRush. If you can give and have social media, please tag transit and use the hashtag #BlackAndGoldRush.

Let's come together, give generously, and show the strength of our UMBC community. Together, we can make a lasting impact!
