💌 Go the Extra Mile – Support Bulldog Cares
Not everyone can lace up for the Glow Run—but everyone can still make an impact. Money raised, after race expenses, will support the Bulldog Cares Fund, directly helping Gardner-Webb students in need.
About Bulldog Cares
Bulldog Cares is a joint initiative led by Student Development, Student Success, and Financial Planning. The fund provides emergency financial support for students facing unexpected hardships that could prevent them from continuing their education. This aid helps with urgent needs and is not a replacement for financial aid—students must first exhaust other resources before applying.
Why Give?
By donating, you’re doing more than cheering on the sidelines—you’re removing barriers and helping students stay on track to graduate. Every gift makes a difference in keeping Bulldogs moving forward.
👉 Even if you can’t join the race, you can still go the extra mile by giving today.
