Giving Day Ambassadors are an integral part of UF’s success on Giving Day. Ambassadors help promote Stand Up & Holler by sharing branded content, and encouraging their friends and family to be #AllfortheGators on Giving Day.

How to make an impact as a Giving Day Ambassador

  1. Sign up to be an ambassador at givingday.ufl.edu/pages/get-involved
  2. Use your Ambassador Kit: An Ambassador Kit will be mailed to the address you entered during registration. The kit will include a Flat Mr. 2 Bits – your partner in spreading the word about Giving Day – as well as additional instructions and swag.
  3. Share your custom Giving Day link: A week before Giving Day, a custom fundraising link will be emailed to you. Include your custom link each time you post about Giving Day so that we can measure the impact of your network.
  4. Post on your socials: Bring Flat Mr. 2 Bits with you wherever you go on Giving Day. At the office? Snap a picture of him in your conference room. At the park? Video Flat Mr. 2 Bits taking a ride down the slide. Share pictures and videos of your Flat Mr. 2 Bits to your social media pages like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram using the #AllForTheGators hashtag throughout the day on February 20 to spread the word about Giving Day.
  5. Don’t forget to make a gift to the areas on campus you are most passionate about on Giving Day – and use your custom link!
