A GOOD TIME TO MAKE YOUR GIFT IF YOU WERE ALREADY PLANNING TO DONATE.
In dentistry, we know you’re early birds. If you put us in the top three WVU groups with the most gifts made between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. we could qualify for an extra financial gift.
8 a.m. TWEETY BIRD CHALLENGE
A GOOD WAY TO HELP THE SCHOOL IF YOU AREN’T IN A POSITION TO MAKE A FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION.
From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., dentistry could earn more money on the Day of Giving thanks to just your tweet! Be sure to use #WVUDayofGiving and tag the School of Dentistry. If you’re the 10th, 50th or 100th tweet, we could qualify for $500 to $1500 in prize money.
10 a.m. BUSY BIRD GIVING
A GOOD TIME TO MAKE YOUR GIFT IF YOU WERE ALREADY PLANNING TO DONATE.
If we have more dental school alumni give between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. than any other unit, we could qualify for an extra financial gift.

If the dental school has more first-time donors than any other unit/school between noon and 1 p.m., we’ll win more money!
4 p.m. BABY BIRD MOUNTAINEERS
A GOOD TIME TO SHOW OFF YOUR BABES IN WVU GEAR ON TWITTER OR INSTAGRAM
If you post a cute, creative picture of your kiddo in WVU gear between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., dentistry could make some extra cash. Use #WVUDayofGiving and be sure to tag the dental school.
7 p.m. BIRD WATCH (PET WATCH)
A GOOD TIME TO SHOW OFF YOUR PET IN WVU GEAR ON TWITTER OR INSTAGRAM
Post a cute, creative picture of your pet between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. If you’re among the top three chosen for creativity, the dental school will earn additional funding. Use #WVUDayofGiving and tag the School of Dentistry.
9 p.m. SONGBIRDS
A GOOD TIME TO POST IF YOU’RE IN A BETTER POSITION TO SHARE VOCAL CHORDS OVER CASH
