What is SJYOUGIVE?
SJYOUGIVE is St. John’s inaugural giving day – a 31-hour campaign where St. John’s alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends are encouraged to participate by making a gift.  SJYOUGIVE takes place during Founder's Week, a time where we reflect upon and recommit to our Vincentian heritage. In honor of the year of our founding, the goal is to inspire 1,870 alumni to unite and support the area of the University that matters most to you.

Follow the example set by St. Vincent de Paul and celebrate the opportunity to help those in need by uniting with your fellow alumni and make an impact for current and future generations of St. John’s students.  Together, we can help ensure they have the scholarships, facilities, and research opportunities to ensure their success.
