Gifts of $25 or more qualify for either a complimentary “no-touch” tool, keychain wristlet, or NSU Care lapel pin.

Supporters may also choose to give toward several crowdfunding campaigns spearheaded by NSU students, faculty, and staff. Campaigns include:

• Good Vibrations For Autism – A campaign by the Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice that celebrates World Autism Month (April) and raises funds to purchase vibrating sensory toys for Baudhuin Preschool students, many of them who are in the autism spectrum.

• Sharks and Service: Socks For Love – Led by students in Sharks and Service (SAS), this campaign aims to continue NSU’s community service projects to nonprofit organizations such as Showering Love, a South Florida-based nonprofit that offers the homeless access to weekly showers and hygiene care. For every $5 donation, the NSU Alumni Association will also donate a pair of socks to Showering Love.

Additional campaigns include supporting the Caribbean Diaspora Healthy Nutrition Outreach Project (Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine), the Caribbean Student Association (who is hosting a student paint and sip event in honor of ALL IN for NSU), and more!
