Boxer Giving Day 2026 proved once again what’s possible when the Pacific community comes together in support of students. Over 36 hours, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends rallied to make 617 gifts and raised $208,041 to support scholarships, programs, and experiences that help Pacific students pursue their purpose and succeed.

Together, we also raised $67,717 for the Boxer Spirit Fund! Gifts to this fund help make a Pacific education accessible by easing financial barriers and ensuring students can stay enrolled, focus on their studies, and prepare to become the educators, caregivers, innovators, and leaders our communities need.

Boxer Giving Day 2026 was a powerful reminder that when we GO BIG together, we open doors, change lives, and show students they have an entire community cheering them on.
