AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn University will host a day-of-giving on Feb. 21 and Auburn Athletics will take part seeking donations to fund student-athlete internships with a goal of raising $10,000. The 24-hour fundraising campaign features more than 20 projects from units all across campus and can be found at TigerGiving.org.
Auburn Athletics is asking fans, donors and supporters to give to its project of providing internship assistance to its student-athletes. Due to demanding competition schedules and full-academic workloads, student-athletes typically use the summer months to gain on-the-job training through internships. These donations will be used to provide financial supplement for the living expenses needed to travel outside of the Auburn-Opelika area or accept unpaid internships.
