What is Give Orange?
Give Orange is the special moment when the Oklahoma State University family comes together in support of their orange passions.
On April 11 & 12, Oklahoma State University students, alumni and friends are coming together for 1,890 minutes to support their ORANGE passions. For 31 hours, campus programs and units will take part in OSU's FIRST-EVER Give Orange by sharing how Cowboys from across the globe can help them achieve their goals and bring success to OSU. Every gift given during those 1,890 minutes will count towards Give Orange.
