How MU Raised $1 Million in 1 Day

The 12th Annual One Day Give fundraiser broke records

A photograph taken at an indoor event features three subjects: a young man in a black polo shirt, a person in a red bird mascot costume, and a distinguished gentleman in a suit. The event appears to be associated with Millersville University, as indicated by the T-shirt held by the mascot, which reads "Millersville University One Day Give." The young man on the left, wearing a name tag and a black polo shirt with "Cygnus" embroidered on it, stands smiling with his hands clasped in front of him. The red bird mascot in the center holds up the Millersville University T-shirt with its blue-gloved wings. The gentleman on the right, dressed in a dark suit, white shirt, and patterned tie, holds up a pair of blue socks featuring an illustration of a campus building. The setting includes a banner with the word "VOTE" partially visible in the background, suggesting an engagement or donation drive. Behind them, a sign reading "The Writing" is seen, indicating the event is taking place in a writing center or academic space. There are also students sitting and working in the background.

Thanks to the 2025 One Day Give, students will have more scholarships. The 12th annual event ended with a record-breaking $1,103,368 raised in just 24 hours from 2,413 gifts.  

The money raised during Millersville University’s annual online day of giving supports student scholarships, athletics, student experiences and more. 

“The funds raised from One Day Give will directly impact student experiences both now and in the future,” says Dr. Daniel A. Wubah, president of Millersville. “We are grateful to the community for their continued support of our students. Truly, this would not be possible without their generosity.”   

Continuing a tradition from the past few years, the University offered themed socks with an exclusive design as an incentive for alumni, staff and faculty. The 2025 socks featured a stitched version of the Biemesderfer Executive Center.
