UHV celebrates 8th annual Giving Tuesday

Members of the UHV softball team take charge of a giving station booth Nov. 28 during Giving Tuesday at Target in Victoria. UHV's 8th annual Giving Tuesday set out with a goal to collect 500 donors to help the university secure a $10,000 matching donation from KMH Wealth Management LLC and Keller & Associates CPAs PLLC. There were also six different sponsors pledging a $1,000 match if individual funds each received 25 donations. UHV is grateful for everyone’s support on Giving Tuesday and throughout the year.
