Giving Days 2026
Thank you to all the members of our Hawk family who made the sixth annual Monmouth Giving Days a record-breaking success!
In just 48-hours, the global Monmouth community came together to create student access, demonstrate our shared connections, recognize academic and athletic achievements, and celebrate our Hawk pride.
Your determination to go above and beyond makes a meaningful difference. You helped provide an All Access pass to opportunity and success for our students!
Fly Hawks!
