Giving Tuesdays Updates

GIVING TUESDAYS UPDATES

Our Four Tuesdays of Giving campaign is off to an inspiring start! Before the arrival of a major holiday-room donation, our community of UP alumni and friends gave contributions that build

the foundation for this season’s success.

First and Second Tuesdays of Giving: November 11 and 18

Opening week saw a wave of early supporters stepping in with gifts of all sizes, jump-starting our campaign and reminding us that every contribution—whether $10 or $1000—creates real impact.

We've created a second room to accommodate all the decorations coming in!

Donations during the first and second Tuesdays of Giving, and the next two Tuesdays, will help UPAAA continue supporting undergraduate Stipend Scholarships in various Constituent Universities of UP.

A Fully Decorated Holiday Room — Donated!

We are pleased to announce that Drs. Ed and Joy Celo have contributed enough funds during the second of four Tuesdays of giving to create an entire fully decorated holiday room for our Giving Tuesdays campaign.
This special space serves as a festive backdrop for our fundraising efforts throughout the Christmas season, and reflects the heart of our UP alumni family: generosity, creativity, and the joy of giving.

Their donation will provide undergraduate thesis assistance in the UP College of Public Health in 2026.

Maraming salamat to our donors for setting the tone for a season filled with hope and support for our Alma Mater.

Our campaign is gaining incredible momentum! A second large gift has arrived, securing yet another beautifully decorated Holiday Room as we head into the 3rd Tuesday of Giving!

Maraming salamat to our Anonymous Donor for this generous gift which will provide two grants for UPAAA's International Student Assistance Grant (ISAG) program.
