ORONO, Maine – Black Bear Nation! The annual Maine Day of Giving is set for April 29 and we need you to join us on this annual day to support our Black Bears!

Maine Day of Giving is a 24-hour day of philanthropy where alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends join together from anywhere by making a gift to support what they love about the College of Our Hearts, Always.
