# The University of Pretoria raised 620-thousand-rand as part of its inaugural Giving Month campaign in July. The campaign received support from various organisations, including the Pretoria-based Bulls and Bulls Daisies rugby teams. The UP Giving Month culminated in a Food Pack-a-Thon on the Hatfield Campus, where hundreds of volunteers donated more than two-thousand-600 non-perishable food items to help students facing food insecurity. Vice-Chancellor and Principal professor, Francis Petersen says giving is not defined by the size of a donation but by the intention behind it.
