On April 6 118 ONU students from 43 campus organizations came together to write more than 3,000 thank-you notes to this year’s Founder’s Day Challenge  donors.

Ohio Northern University’s Founder’s Day Challenge is a virtual day of giving that encourages university alumni, faculty, staff, parents, students and friends to come together to support the university.

The challenge is for 500 donors to give to ONU on Founder's Day. To make things more interesting, a group of challenge leaders have given $25,000 to ONU in support of the Founder's Day Challenge.

This year 541 donors gave or pledged a total of $152,480, according to the ONU Facebook.
