One Week. One Pitzer.

One Week. One Pitzer. is a weeklong celebration of community, Pitzer pride and philanthropy.

Beginning Monday, April 18, Pitzer College kicks off its inaugural philanthropy week with a blood drive in the Gold Student Center—join in, give back and “bleed orange!” Activities will continue through Sunday, April 24: writing thank you notes to donors, eating a smorgasbord of orange food, a day of sporting your favorite orange attire and more. Festivities conclude  with the music and art of Kohoutek and the fun and excitement of Alumni Weekend.

In support of our students, One Week. One Pitzer. will incorporate a giving campaign and surprise giving challenges. It also coincides with the final week of the Senior Class Gift Campaign and the Faculty & Staff Gift Campaign, both of which are well underway in the service and support of students!

All members of the Pitzer community—faculty, staff, students, alumni, parents, friends and trustees—are invited and encouraged to participate in One Week. One Pitzer.

For questions or to make a contribution over the phone, call 909.621.8432.
