Bearcat Day of Green 2025
Let's come together to help Bearcat students!

Bearcat Day of Green is an annual giving challenge lasting 1905 minutes - in honor of Northwest's founding year. The purpose is for the Bearcat community – alumni, employees, students, parents, and friends – to come together and assist in the various initiatives and programs at Northwest Missouri State University. You have the ability to directly help specific areas on campus of your choice. 

The Day of Green's 10 core initiatives are:

  • Academics
  • Bearcat Athletics
  • Bearcats Supporting Bearcats
  • Campus Beautification
  • KXCV-KRNW
  • B.D. Owens Library
  • Multiculturalism
  • Northwest Fund
  • Scholarships
  • Student Life

There are specific designations under each of these initiatives, meaning you're able to help many areas on campus that you hold near and dear to your heart. Thank you, Bearcats!
