Join in for the Bobcat's birthday - and this year's Great Day giving celebration - on Tuesday, March 16! The Bates community will come together to show our Bobcat pride and celebrate what makes Bates great. Bring the Bates community into your home during our livestream celebration, which will feature familiar campus faces as well as the Bobcat!
Help make the Bobcat's birthday the best ever. Your Great Day gift to Bates and your participation is the best birthday present of all. Your participation at any level will contribute to the joy, support, and connection that Great Day provides to Batesies near and far.
EVERYDAY is a Great Day to be a Bobcat — thanks to you!

The best birthday ever! Congratulations to Cailine Gunn '16 for making the 1,855th gift to Great Day to be a Bobcat. The party's just beginning - let's keep going!
When we reach our goal of 1,855 gifts from alumni, parents, and friends, a group of current trustees will add $100,000 to our Great Day giving total. What a fantastic way to celebrate the 166th birthday of Bates—and the Bobcat!
