Oski's B-day Bearathon

Oski’s B‑Day Bearathon is back, and our favorite bear is ready to party. Last year, thousands of donors joined the fun and helped fuel the programs that make Berkeley feel like home! From wellness and mentorship to student groups, every gift makes a bear-sized difference.

Oski’s birthday wish is simple: help every student thrive! Your gift powers scholarships, cultural centers, peer support, and all the student‑led magic that makes Berkeley such a special place. Give September 16–18 and vote where an additional $1,000 should go! Let’s make this the most joyful Bearathon yet.
