A Celebration of Student Efforts: The Giving Campaign 2025

Alumnote Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Tokushima University, is excited to announce the “Giving Campaign 2025 Gratitude Event in Tokushima” scheduled for December 20, 2025, at the Tokushima Granviller Hotel. This gathering aims to celebrate the remarkable achievements of students and foster connections between local businesses and student groups, ultimately enhancing the community's educational and economic landscape.

Background: What is the Giving Campaign?

The Giving Campaign is an initiative designed for university students across Japan, allowing them to share the significance of their extracurricular activities—such as clubs, circles, and research groups—through social networks and alumni connections. By advocating for support and funding, these students actively engage in fundraising efforts to sustain and promote their initiatives. Launched at the University of Tokyo in Winter 2021, this event has seen substantial participation with over 110 universities and nearly 2,800 student organizations contributing this time, culminating in donations exceeding 1.6 billion yen.

The upcoming Gratitude Event is not just a conclusion to the Giving Campaign but a platform for students to express heartfelt thanks to sponsors, university officials, and voting supporters. Participants will include 13 local companies, providing an excellent opportunity for students to mingle and share their experiences.
