The University of Kansas celebrates their annual 24 hours of giving day with One Day One KU! On April 28-29, 2026 — from noon to noon — Jayhawks around the globe came together to support hundreds of amazing causes.
One Day One KU celebrates the power of one — one vote in the Kansas Legislature that led to Lawrence’s selection as the home of the University of Kansas, one community of passionate and proud supporters who are united in doing good. KU’s alumni and friends enable the university to initiate the big ideas — the good ideas — that serve people, not just in Kansas, but everywhere. The next big idea starts here — and we want YOU to be a part of it!
