Get in on UAF Giving Day and win prizes

March 23, 2026

UAF Giving Day is March 24–26, and students can get involved, show their Nanook pride and even win prizes — including an Alaska Airlines round-trip ticket voucher. Get in the UAF Giving Day spirit and show your Nanook pride!

Here are a few easy ways to participate:

  • Become a UAF Giving Day champion
    Share what you love about UAF on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn using #49HoursForAlaska, and encourage others to support the programs that matter most to you.

  • Say thanks to UAF donors
    Record a short thank-you video for the generous donors who help make great things happen at UAF. One video will be randomly selected to win a free round-trip Alaska Airlines ticket. Submit your message here (submission deadline: March 26 at 1 p.m.).
  • 5 competitions, 5 chances to win!
    Student organizations can compete in five fun UAF Giving Day activities — like bowling, trivia, and “Hand on the Nook” — for a chance to win part of $2,500 in awards, sponsored by the UAF Alumni Association.

Plus, students who participate will receive a free pair of UAF Giving Day socks just for showing up (while supplies last)!

However you participate, you’ll help spread the word about what makes UAF special.
