Annual Giving
1ROO Annual Giving Program | Launches November 20 | Save the Link: giving.enmu.edu
Introducing 1ROO for ENMU, Eastern's Annual Giving Program — 1Roo is a new way to directly support the ENMU programs you love.
Do you know what a ROO is? It's the melodic call Greyhounds use to call to their pack.
At Eastern, our Roo is more than just a sound. It’s the embodiment of our Greyhound grit, determination, and unwavering loyalty. It’s the bond we forge as a community.
This year, we’re channeling that spirit into the 1ROO Annual Giving Program, launching November 20.
Here’s what makes 1ROO special: It’s your chance to answer the call for the specific pack you care about. For the first time, you can give directly to any academic, athletic, and community units at ENMU. Your gift goes straight to work supporting the department, team, or program that means the most to you.
This is your unique call to purpose. It’s a profound pull to help others and a steadfast urge to uplift those around you. Giving through this 1Roo ensures ENMU remains a place where dreams are nurtured, courage is fostered, and tenacity is rewarded.
Support your pack by answering the call. Answer 1Roo for ENMU!
