AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) — Texas Tech University released information on its second annual Day of Giving online fundraising campaign, set to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday.

“The success of our inaugural Texas Tech Day of Giving provided even greater opportunities and support for our students,” said Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec. “The gifts made as part of this event will continue our legacy of making a difference in the lives of Red Raiders and the future of Texas Tech.”

We encourage everyone to find a project they are passionate about, make a gift and help share the remarkable things happening at Texas Tech.”
