MELBOURNE, Fla. – A 37-cent donation helped spur the founding of Florida Tech in 1958. A 37-hour special event will help it continue to flourish.

Supercharging the annual Day of Giving, Florida Tech is excited to announce 37 Hours of Giving. The festivities start at 11 a.m. on Nov. 8 and go until midnight on Nov. 9.

Help support Panther athletics by donating to our Athletic Department or one of our 15 varsity sports programs.

A live stream will kick off at 11 a.m. from the Folliard Alumni Center on campus and run through the entire event at dayofgiving.fit.edu. The broadcast will feature President John Nicklow interviewing university historian Gordon Patterson in honor of Florida Tech's 65th anniversary, as well as other interviews with coaches and several scholar-athletes!

The live stream will also carry a chess tournament, a rock-paper-scissors championship battle, and a "Cash Cab"-style trivia game.

The 37 Hours of Giving website will include a tally with a live leaderboard showing real-time dollars and donors for each participating athletic team, college, unit, and participating student organization.
 
The Florida Tech Alumni Association Facebook page will also be active with donor challenges, updates, and live videos from around campus.
