A Gentle Reminder as Our Caregiving Bruins’ Campaign Nears Its Close

December 12, 2025

As we enter the final two weeks of our holiday campaign, we wanted to share a brief update and invite you to consider joining us once more in uplifting UCLA’s caregiving Bruins. This is the only campaign our Students with Dependents Program hosts each year, and we are pacing just slightly behind where we hoped to be at this point.

Make Your Gift Here: https://crowdfunding.ucla.edu/LBW2025

If you have already made your gift, please accept our sincere thanks, and our apologies for the extra note. If you are willing, we would be deeply grateful if you shared this campaign with friends or family, as every new contribution helps ensure caregiving students and their children feel supported during this meaningful season.

Thank you, as always, for the care and commitment you show to our Bruins and their families.
