Introduced in 2019, the 1866 Minute Giving Challenge was named to honor the University’s founding year. Last year, there were 1,556 donors helping the University raise $151,793, according to KUbears.
Beginning at 7 a.m, on Oct, 7 and ending at 2:06 p.m on Oct. 8, KU athletics is asking all students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and friends to take part in helping KU and KUF exceed the amount of donations from last year.
Any donors who give $20.20 will receive a KU pennant, and gifts of $50 or more will qualify to receive a limited edition pair of KU socks.

Supporters can also promote the event through the #1866Challenge hashtag.
