One Day For UK is your day to make a difference for our Gatton College.

On April 17, the University of Kentucky is rallying faculty, staff, students, alumni, friends and fans to support One Day for UK, a 24-hour day of giving during which donors can support the college or cause of their choice.

For thousands of students every year, the Gatton College of Business and Economics is the gateway to rewarding careers and economic sustainability. The college is committed to attracting the most talented and diverse students to Gatton, regardless of their ability to pay for higher education.

Gifts during the One Day for UK campaign to support the college will provide opportunities for students to make meaningful connections in and out of the classroom, and to become tomorrow's leaders. And thanks to Gatton alumnus Thomas Kessinger, the first $40,000 in gifts to the Gatton Annual Fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

"One Day for UK" also supports the university’s comprehensive campaign, Kentucky Can: The 21st Century Campaign, which increases opportunities for student success, funds innovative research, improves health care, strengthens the alumni network and enhances athletic programs. Now, more than halfway to its $2.1 billion goal, Kentucky Can benefits from every gift.
