BATON ROUGE — Thursday is the Southern University System Foundation's annual SU Give Day, with this year's goal to raise $25 million for Southern University campuses across Louisiana.

The virtual event will stream live on Southern's Facebook page and serves as the final push for the Foundation's "Are You In?" campaign.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will be hosted by Cumulus Media on-air personality LaTangela Sherman, live from the Valdry Center for Philanthropy on the Baton Rouge campus.

The Foundation is calling on alumni, students, faculty, staff and supporters to contribute to five campuses: Southern University and A&M College, Southern University at New Orleans, Southern University Shreveport, Southern University Law Center and Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center. The Southern University Laboratory School is also included.

Ahead of the start of the fundraiser, 2une In's Mia Monet visited campus to hear from organizers about the importance of the money being raised.
