CONWAY, SC (WBTW) – Today Coastal Carolina University celebrated it’s first ever “Giving Teal Tuesday”.

Students and members of the faculty were out in Spadoni Park this afternoon dressed in teal and collecting donations for various scholarships.

“I’m really excited, I love an opportunity to give back I think any money raised to help support student scholarships is for a great cause so hopefully we can make a difference. It’s just really nice to have the whole university come together on one day to give back,” Associate Director of Annual Giving Sarah Craig said.

Today’s event ended at 4 p.m., but you can still visit coastal.edu and donate there.
