From May 8–19, you’ll have the chance to make a lasting difference in the lives of UCSC students. This is more than a fundraising event—it’s your opportunity to open doors, create possibilities, and support the next generation of Banana Slugs.
Whether it’s helping students access career-building experiences, wellness services, or essential campus resources, your gift can shape a student's future far beyond graduation.
Even better—your support fuels student-led projects as they compete for extra challenge funds, multiplying the impact of every donation.
The power to make change is in your hands.
The programs and services described here are open to all, consistent with state and federal law, as well as the University of California’s nondiscrimination policies.
