What is a One Day One KU Ambassador?
Ambassadors power One Day One KU by spreading the word to their networks through social media, email, phone calls, texting and word of mouth. Every single dollar raised makes a significant impact on KU’s future — last year, over 250 ambassadors inspired more than 1,100 gifts and raised over $350,000. This year, we hope to exceed those numbers to do even more good for the university we love — but we need your help!
Why Should you be an ambassador?
You can use your voice and influence to support KU in the area of greatest importance to you!
When you sign up, you’ll select a One Day One KU campaign tied to a school or campus initiative. Then you’ll receive a unique URL to share with peers, family and friends so you can track the dollars raised — and impact made — from the people in your network.
Not only will you be helping KU win during One Day One KU — YOU could win prizes!
All ambassadors who secure 2+ gifts through their unique URL will receive a limited-edition One Day One KU car freshener. If you secure 5+ gifts you will also receive a pair of car coasters. The top five ambassadors will choose from a selection of top-tier prizes.
