Featured Challenge:
Family Council Challenge
Join the Butler Family Council in supporting students and their needs! The Family Council is passionate about Butler and the positive, lasting impact the University, its faculty, and staff have on BU students. Participating in the Family Council Challenge unlocks a dollar-for-dollar match, up to $2,500, sponsored by council members David (MS ‘03) and Jamie Fryrear.
This challenge welcomes everyone who feels connected to the Butler Family to contribute to this Day of Giving initiative. All funds raised for the Family Council Challenge will go to the Office of Student Affairs and be allocated to programs and activities that directly support the experience of current and future Bulldogs.
Thank you for your support of the Family Council Challenge and on behalf of the initiatives to support all Butler families!
