Hi! I’m Maple, a Squirrel of Old Main Lawn, and I’m writing to you with a rather nutty request—one that will surely bring a smile to your face and a little warmth to your heart.
There are lonely squirrels that have been scurrying around Old Main Lawn, day in and day out, without so much as a name to call their own. These little critters have been gathering acorns, chasing leaves and entertaining students with their acrobatic antics, but something’s missing. They need an identity—a name!
For a small donation of $18.71 (a nod to our beloved university’s founding year), you have the unique opportunity to name a furry friend. Imagine the joy of knowing that whenever someone sees this sprightly squirrel, they’ll think of the name you chose and the support you’ve given to the University of Arkansas.
But that’s not all. Your gift also supports student scholarships, funds groundbreaking research and maintains our beautiful campus for all creatures great and small.
Whether it’s “Squirrely McWhiskerface,” “Wooo Squeak Sooie” or even “Dave Van Acorn,” the possibilities are as endless as a squirrel’s stash of nuts!
After you click the link and fill out the naming form for your squirrel, you’ll soon receive an email with your digital certificate proclaiming your squirrel's official name. You can print the certificate, frame it and keep it as a constant reminder of the good deed you have done today by giving a squirrel a name of its own. Name as many squirrels as you want and send the certificates as gifts to your fellow alumni, friends and family for birthdays, holidays, or name one for your sweetheart for Valentine's Day.
The Squirrels of Old Main Lawn are eagerly awaiting new names—and maybe a few extra acorns along the way! This opportunity will end on February 28th.
Click the button below to make a gift and choose a name. While the impact of your gift is real, this naming opportunity is only symbolic. We reserve the right to reject any name deemed inappropriate for our beloved squirrels. Once your name is approved, you will receive a digital certificate with your squirrel’s name, suitable for printing and sharing from annualfd@uark.edu. Please allow at least 1-2 business days for delivery.
