On October 12 and 13, Texas State University will run the “Step Up for State” fundraising extravaganza that challenges the Bobcat community to make an impact in just 1,899 minutes. Bobcat community is encouraged to “Step Up” for the people, programs, and places that they care most about at Texas State.

The fundraiser will go live at 8 a.m. October 12 and close at 3:39 p.m. October 13, which means donors will have 1,899 minutes to pick their passion and support causes that are special to them. The 1,899 minutes of giving corresponds with the 1899 founding year and represents the dedication of students and alumni to continue the legacy of Texas State. Gifts may be made online at stepup.txstate.edu

This year’s goal is for 2,500 Bobcat donors to make a gift supporting scholarships, academics, athletics, and campus initiatives. Be a part of the NEXT big thing for Texas State by impacting programs such as Bobcat Bounty, the Alumni Association, First Generation Proud, and the Maroon and Gold Annual Fund.

When the Bobcat community comes together, it’s powerful. By Stepping Up for State, you show the world that at Texas State, NEXT IS NOW. The event will also feature an active social media component on Facebook and Twitter with the official hashtag #StepUpforState.
