Small gifts. Everyday essentials. Big impact.
Family Weekend is a time to create memories with your student and strengthen your connection to the UK community. As you celebrate with your student, consider leaving a lasting impact on another Wildcat. Help us reach our goal of collecting 1,000 hygiene items and $1,000 in support of the Big Blue Pantry during Family Weekend.
Whether you give an item or make a gift, your support helps Wildcats thrive.
