Galloway, N.J. —The Stockton University Foundation will host its eighth annual Ospreys Give Oct. 8-9.

The 24-hour celebration of giving and gratitude embraces the theme “One Day, One Stockton,” uniting the Stockton community in support of students, programs and the future of the university.  

The goal for the 2025 campaign is to inspire 1,300 donors to make a difference by giving to the areas of Stockton they care about most. More than 300 designations are available, including scholarships, academic programs, athletics, emergency relief, food security programs and more.

For the third consecutive year, Spencer’s and Spirit Halloween return as the event’s lead sponsor, committing $250,000 to be unlocked as donor milestones are reached throughout the campaign. Additional matches and challenges will amplify the impact of giving, including a $20,000 challenge gift from Senator William and Ginny Gormley and a $50,000 challenge gift from Tom Kinsella, director of South Jersey Culture and History Center and distinguished professor of Literature at Stockton.

“At Spencer’s and Spirit Halloween, we’ve always believed in the power of community and the importance of lifting others up,” said Steven Silverstein, CEO of Spencer’s and Spirit Halloween. “Partnering with Stockton is more than a gesture of support—it’s a meaningful investment in the next generation of leaders, creators and change makers who will shape the future of our region and beyond.” 

Ospreys Give will also feature events on Stockton’s Galloway campus to build excitement and celebrate the spirit of philanthropy, including:  

• Kickoff Party – Join the celebration at 1 p.m., Oct. 8, with games, prizes, food and music.  

• Talon Taxi – Hop on the Talon Taxi for a chance to win bonus dollars for your favorite Stockton cause.  
• Closing Celebration – Wrap up the excitement from 12-1 p.m. on Oct. 9 with cupcakes, prizes, confetti and more as we celebrate with the Stockton community.  

“Ospreys Give is one day, but its impact lasts for years,” said Dan Nugent, vice president for University Advancement and executive director of the Stockton University Foundation. “This is a chance for everyone to come together, show their pride and generosity, and fuel opportunities for today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders.”
