On Friday, May 1, from 8am-midnight, the Central community will come together for one of the most exciting days of the year. During this 16-hour challenge, every gift made to any fund within the CCSU Foundation, Inc. will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact of your generosity. Matching funds are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-matched basis, so early participation is key. Whether you choose to support scholarships, academic programs, athletics, or another area meaningful to you, your gift will go twice as far while matching funds last. This is a powerful opportunity to make an even greater difference for Central and its students, so don't miss it!

Save the Date for Homecoming & Family Weekend 2026! Thursday, October 8 - Saturday, October 10, 2026. Stay tuned for more information.
