Raise Your Pick Giving Day

SAVE THE DATE!

On April 12, 2023, Miner Nation will rally to support UTEP through Raise Your Pick Giving Day! 

Personalize your impact by choosing from over 50 different programs, scholarships, campus improvements, and student resources.

Leading up to April 12, we hope you'll browse through the various areas in need of support, as well as the matches and challenges that will amplify your impact. New events and campaign pages are being added daily!

Get ready to raise your pick, Miners! Every gift counts!

Want to get more involved? Sign up to be an Ambassador and increase support to the fund(s) or program(s) that you are most passionate about. 

And, if you live in the El Paso area, make plans to join us for our Raise Your Pick Giving Day Block Party on April 12, 11:30am–1:30pm in Centennial Plaza on the UTEP Campus. Paydirt Pete would love to see you there!
