One Day for UK


For 24 hours on April 24, 2025, University of Kentucky alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends will support their favorite college, program or cause through One Day for UK — the University’s annual giving day.

From the beginning, UK has pioneered new ways to carry out its mission and ensure brighter futures in our state and beyond. And one thing has always been true: when UK alumni, faculty, staff, students and supporters lift together, we can achieve anything.

On One Day for UK, join in the fun and make a gift that will help us build upon our momentum and ensure our promise to be the University for Kentucky.
