We Love our Loyal Blues

When you make a gift to UB every year—at any amount—you become part of a community of donors who believe in the power of a University at Buffalo education and the potential of every UB student.

Stay true to the Blue

Your gift molds a university that you’re proud to call your alma mater. To maintain your Loyal Blues status, be sure to make a gift, in any amount, each year (it’s that easy). We also encourage you to connect with our online community and participate in alumni events.

Participate with pride

Your participation shows your pride in UB and the education you received, setting a powerful example for past, present and future Bulls. Loyal Blues are encouraged to attend events, volunteer in their communities and spread the word about UB wherever they go.
