                            Due to unforeseen delays, we’re shaking things off and will keep this page live until 11:59 p.m. tonight, allowing all donors the opportunity to be a part of Comets Giving Days 2025! We appreciate everyone who has taken time out of their days to help support, share, and make an impact in the lives of our Comets and for our campus.
