A New Season for Raise Some L

Raise Some L, the University of Louisville's annual day of giving, will now take place each spring, creating a dedicated opportunity for the Cardinal community to come together and support UofL. We are pleased to announce that Raise Some L 2027 will take place Tuesday, April 13, and Wednesday, April 14.

What This Means for You

Raise Some L will continue to bring the Cardinal community together around a shared goal: making a difference at the University of Louisville through philanthropy.

The campaign itself will remain focused on giving donors the opportunity to support the colleges, programs, teams and initiatives that matter most to them. The biggest change is when we come together to make that impact.

Questions? Please contact Alexis Allen at a.allen@louisville.edu within the Office of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement.
