Support the Army ROTC Cadets on #GivingTuesday!

December 03, 2024

Celebrate #GivingTuesday (and the Egg Bowl victory!) by providing critical resources to the Army ROTC! Your gift provides beneficial support for cadets and their activities. And guess what? We’ve got a “soleful” way to thank you!

Here is your “to-do list” for #GivingTuesday:

  1. Make your gift of $18.48 or more to claim your limited-edition pair of Ole Miss socks! (One gift = one pair; limit four per household.)
  2. Set up a recurring gift to provide ongoing support for this worthy fund.
  3. Post online and share this effort with friends and family to spread the word about this meaningful initiative.

Let’s make a difference together! Every gift ensures a lasting legacy for the next generation of Army ROTC cadets.

Your support also counts toward Now & Ever: The Campaign for Ole Miss, a historic initiative to transform and strengthen our university community. Giving is easy! Ignite Ole Miss accepts PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay and all major credit cards.

Support an Army Cadet

Magnolia Battalion continues to lead the way as the premiere ROTC program in the state of Mississippi. Much of that success is owed to the unparalleled support of our alumni, friends and family. As our program continues to grow, the requirement for assistance also grows. We currently maintain 150 cadets in the program. This year, in conjunction with the Egg Bowl Run, we are asking 150 supporters to donate $25 each. If 150 supporters give just $25 each, we will reach $3,750, all of which will directly support our cadets. To show our appreciation for your generosity, we'll publicly thank you on our University of Mississippi Army ROTC social media accounts and send you a personalized note.

Powder Blue Army ROTC Cap

As of May 2023, nearly 2,000 officers have received their commissions through the Army ROTC program at Ole Miss. These officers have served continuously on active duty and in the Army Reserve and National Guard since 1938. They have fought honorably through six wars, including World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Iraq. About 20 graduates have also attained the honor of becoming general officers (one star or higher). Give $60 to honor their service and claim your powder blue Army ROTC cap, with Ole Miss in stars and stripes.

In return, you'll enjoy a truly special experience by joining the Army ROTC Push-up and Cannon Crew on the sidelines of one of the first three home football games of the 2025 season. Help fire the cannon and do a set of push-ups when the Rebels score and score your own crew T-shirt. ONLY ONE spot on the push-up and cannon crew is available, so make your gift now!

Two-Person Golf Scramble

Established during World War I, an Army Training Corps unit operated at Ole Miss from September 1918 to January 1919, helping students prepare to serve the nation as Army officers just as our current ROTC program does today. Ole Miss cadets participate in a program with 106 years of history. When you give $500 to commemorate that history, you'll get to field a two-person golf team at the third annual Army ROTC Golf Scramble held at the Mallard Pointe Golf Course and Villas on April 27, 2025. Only two prizes are available, so make your gift now! Also, this package includes two tickets to our Annual Spring Dining Out event, held the night before the golf scramble on April 26, 2025, at the University of Mississippi Ballroom on campus.
