The fan-favorite Giving Day challenge has returned! Celebrate the enduring spirit of our beloved campus squirrels in a fun and meaningful way by giving them a name they’ll carry proudly in Cougar history. We’ve seen a lot of new squirrely faces scurrying across campus, which means even more opportunities for you to get creative this Giving Day!
HOW IT WORKS
With their bushy tails and playful antics, our iconic UH squirrels are always busy darting through campus, scavenging acorns or receiving a tasty snack from a kind student under the trees in Butler Plaza. For a gift of $19.27 or more to the Fund for UH, you can symbolically name one of these furry friends and leave your mark on UH’s history.
As a token of appreciation, you’ll receive a personalized digital certificate featuring your squirrel’s special name, perfect for printing, framing or sharing.
ADD YOUR PERSONAL TOUCH
This is your chance to name a squirrel after yourself, a loved one, a favorite professor or even a nod to campus nostalgia. Let your creativity shine! However, please remember that the naming opportunity is symbolic and not official.
A NOTE ON RESPECT
We’re excited to see your creative ideas, but names must be appropriate and respectful, reflecting our university’s values and Cougar spirit. UH reserves the right to decline any name that doesn’t align with these standards.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to name a squirrel and make an impact!
