BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University will host Tag Day, a campus-wide event designed to engage and educate students, faculty and staff about the impact of giving back, on Thursday, March 19, throughout campus.

Organized by the Binghamton University Student Philanthropy Committee, The Binghamton Fund and the Binghamton University Alumni Association, this is the second annual Tag Day event to take place at the University. Approximately 500 large, green tags will be placed across campus − from the libraries to the Decker School of Nursing, and everywhere in-between − to denote buildings, classroom spaces and equipment that donors have made possible.

In addition to the tags, students, faculty and staff can pick up buttons indicating "I Give Back" for donors or "I Benefit" for those who wish to show the impact donor gifts have had on their University experience.

According to the Binghamton University Foundation’s 2014 Annual Report, the University received over $6.4 million in donations in the 2013-14 fiscal year. These gifts pay for things not covered by tuition and state funding.
