WHAT IS #FIREBIRDSGIVEBACK?
#FirebirdsGiveBack is Carthage's annual crowdfunding event that takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving as part of Giving Tuesday, the National Day of Giving. This year, it is on November 28, 2023. Crowdfunding projects are led by students, faculty, and staff who are passionate about making a difference at Carthage.
DO I GET ANYTHING SPECIAL FOR GIVING ON BOTH #FIREBIRDSGIVEBACK AND #REDANDREADY GIVING DAY?
Absolutely! Donors who support Carthage on both official days of giving in a single school year will receive a Loyal Red Firebird magnet after Red and Ready Giving Day concludes in the spring. This collectible will feature a fun new design each year. Remember: #FirebirdsGiveBack is the first of the two days of giving, so don't miss making your gift!
CAN GIFTS BE MADE BY PHONE OR MAIL?
You can make a gift by phone by calling 262-551-5700 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CT.
