The Iona community once again came together on March 17 to celebrate Gaels Giving Day, Iona University’s annual day of giving, a 24-hour campaign which encourages philanthropic support of gifts of any size to any available designation. The campaign was a notable success in annual support, in which 2,446 donors this year have given $1.8 million for the Fund for Iona, or to support athletics, scholarships and other important programs. The 24-hour period saw 658 donors give $324,997 for our biggest surge of the year.
