Help us reach our goal of 1,907 donors by March 13

This year, on Thursday, March 13, the Bates community will come together for Bates Great Day, our annual day of giving, to show our Bobcat pride and celebrate 170 years of what we love about Bates. Get ready to bring the Bates community into your home during our annual live-stream celebration, where you’ll get to see familiar faces from campus and our beloved Bobcat!

Each year on Bates Great Day we rally the community to sustain the Bates Annual Fund, which directly provides vital support for academic, athletic, and co-curricular programs. This powerful tradition reinforces the college’s values and creates an environment where students can prosper academically, personally, and socially.

Your participation at any level honors those who positively impacted your experience at Bates and will contribute to the joy, support, and connection that Great Day provides to Bobcats near and far.
