Support Black & Gold Rush Support students' well-being, basic needs, & much more!!!

Black and Gold Rush is almost here! On March 4 and 5, our UMBC community will come together for 36 hours of giving.

What does that mean? It's not just about fundraising. It's about showing what's possible when our community rallies behind students.

This year, the Division of Student Affairs has set a goal to raise $25,000 in support of student wellbeing, basic needs, and transformative experiences. 

AND

The Division of Student Affairs Executive Leadership Team has pledged a matching gift that will be released once we reach our $25,000 goal. Every contribution moves us closer to unlocking those additional funds—and expanding support for our Retrievers.

Here's how you can help:

  1. Spread the word: talk it up with friends, post and share on social using #BlackAndGoldRush.
  2. There is no minimum donation. Every dollar truly makes a difference.

Your voice, your Retriever pride, and your participation matter.

Thank you!

Give to UMBC Student Affairs
