Our Story
Giving back has been at the heart of Purdue University since its founding in 1869. John Purdue, our original Boilermaker philanthropist, gave land and thousands of dollars to establish a land-grant university that would educate communities, revolutionize industries, and shape world-changing leaders.
Your support on Purdue Day of Giving helps everyone here at Purdue Bands & Orchestras continue his legacy by creating opportunities that open doors, empower Boilermakers, and prepare the next generation to build a better world together.
In the same way that every giant leap starts with one small step, every gift today will add up to make a big impact.
That’s why we hope you will give back to the old gold and black and make a difference for Purdue Bands & Orchestras with a gift this Purdue Day of Giving.
All hail our own Purdue!
