Black & Gold family 🖤💛 it’s almost time.

Black and Gold Rush is almost here! On March 4–5, our University of Maryland, Baltimore County community will come together for 36 hours of giving — and it’s about so much more than fundraising.
It’s about what’s possible when we rally behind our students.

This year, the Division of Student Affairs has set a bold goal: $25,000 to support student wellbeing, basic needs, and transformative experiences.

And here’s the exciting part 👇 Our Executive Leadership Team has pledged a matching gift that will be unlocked once we reach that $25,000 goal. Every single contribution moves us closer to releasing those additional funds — and expanding support for our Retrievers.

Here’s how you can jump in: 1. Spread the word — text a friend, post, share, tag 2. Use  3. Give what you can — there’s no minimum, and every dollar matters

Your voice. Your pride. Your participation. That’s what makes this powerful.

Let’s show what Retriever Nation can do— . 🐾💛
