Our Crowdfunding Groups
Crowdfund UC Davis thanks all of the donors who gave to this important project in February. This campaign has closed, but we are grateful for your support!
Picnic Day is an annual open house at UC Davis filled with spirit and tradition that brings together current students, families, alumni, staff, and the greater Davis community for a day of celebration and adventure. As one of the largest student-run events in the United States with over 70,000+ attendees, Picnic Day showcases the inclusivity, originality, and radiant enthusiasm that transform the campus to life. This year, the theme of Picnic Day is Picnic Palooza. The word palooza sparks the vision of festive and celebratory ventures, which showcases the spectacularity of Picnic Day.
This longstanding event since 1909 turns the campus into a full day of joyful laughter and bustling carnival games. From the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences to the School of Veterinary Medicine, each department gets the opportunity to showcase engaging displays and interactive exhibits which are fun to see for visitors of all ages.
A highlight of Picnic Day is the Parade with enormous floats, the infamous marching band, and numerous student organizations parading behind them. Sheri Atkinson, this year's parade marshal, will speak at the Parade, setting the tone to hone in on that Picnic Day spirit!
Our amazing team of 70 students work hard throughout the year to make Picnic Day possible. From selecting performers to contacting exhibits, every detail is thoughtfully cared for. We talk out marketing strategies to spread the word about Picnic Day, manage volunteer teams, and outreach to sponsors. In the weeks leading up, we handle permits, safety arrangements, and signage distribution. Through that, our goal is to make Picnic Day sustainable and enjoyable by preparing staff meals & development opportunities for our team.
UC Davis' Picnic Day is not just a celebration of community engagement, but an event that showcases the diversity, creativity, and enthusiasm of the school. It serves as a welcome for all to experience the hidden gems of UC Davis and to appreciate the unity the Aggie community brings.
Gifts to our crowdfund project will support Picnic Day including development opportunities for students.
