Homecoming

Welcoming Cowboys home for more than a century!

Since 1920, OSU has welcomed alumni back to campus for America’s Greatest Homecoming™, a week-long celebration that now draws tens of thousands of Cowboys each year.

More than just a tradition, Homecoming fosters leadership, communication, and collaboration for thousands of OSU students.

Your Give Orange gift helps cover the costs of this iconic event, supporting hundreds of student organizations and living groups that make Homecoming possible.

Based on your donation, you will receive an exclusive thank you gift from the Alumni Association!

$100+ | Custom OSU return label sheet
$250+ | Double-sided OSU yard sign plus return label sheet
$1,000+ | 12" Pistol Pete tabletop statuette plus return label sheet

BONUS: In 2026, we will celebrate the 105th edition of Homecoming at OSU! Once we reach 105 donations, the Alumni Association will unveil this year’s theme!

Thank you for keeping OSU’s greatest tradition alive for future generations of Cowboys!
