Mayville State University’s Annual Day of Giving on April 30 was a tremendous success, raising nearly $85,000 in support of the Honor Scholarship Fund. The outpouring of generosity from alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and supporters will provide scholarship assistance to new first‑year and transfer students, ensuring that Mayville State remains competitive while opening doors for students pursuing their educational hopes and dreams.
The day was also celebrated on campus with the much-anticipated annual Party on the Turf at Jerome Berg Field. Students, faculty, and staff gathered for the official Day of Giving 2026 group photo, showing alumni and friends just how meaningful their support is to the campus community. The celebration continued with a dunk tank, yard games, a kickball tournament, and grilled hot dogs with all the fixings.
Students had the chance to win exciting prizes, including Apple AirPods Pro, a JBL Flip 7 portable speaker, and a $100 Visa gift card, and the first 100 attendees received a free Day of Giving T‑shirt. The event created a fun, high‑energy atmosphere that reflected the pride and gratitude felt across campus and put the resounding exclamation point on what has been a great academic year at Mayville State University.
Thanks to a generous alumni family who matched gifts up to a total of $25,000 and additional North Dakota Challenge Grant matching funds, the impact of every donation was amplified, making this year’s Day of Giving truly memorable.
The Comet family once again demonstrated the power of giving back and investing in the future of Mayville State University. Many thanks to all who made financial contributions and/or who helped to make Day of Giving 2026 a wonderful success.
