Be the Ripple: Together, We Create Lasting Impact

Mariner Day of Giving, Coastal Georgia

What is the Ripple?

At the College of Coastal Georgia, we believe change doesn’t always start with something big – it begins with a ripple. One small act – a gift, a volunteer’s time, a moment of kindness – can spark a wave of transformation.

Even Salty, our spirited Mariner mascot, knows that one small splash can make a big difference. Each ripple touches lives, builds momentum, and grows into something powerful: opportunity, hope, and lasting impact.

Be the Ripple

It isn’t just a fundraising campaign – it’s a movement fueled by generosity and community. From August through December, we invite alumni, friends, and neighbors to join us in sparking ripples that begin here on campus and extend into the world. Your support provides scholarships, mentorship, and wellness resources. It ensures students feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive – and when they do, they carry that ripple forward – into their careers, their communities, and their lives.

The Ripples You Create

This December 2 – College of Coastal Georgia’s Mariner Day of Giving – and every day leading up to it, we invite you to take part. Make a gift. Volunteer. Share a moment of kindness, because when you do, you’re not just helping a student – you’re starting a ripple that never stops moving. Give today, and be the reason a student’s journey continues to grow and thrive.

Claim It to Name It

Ever dreamed of seeing your name on something big? Or, maybe something…delightfully random…like a water fountain or a vending machine? This Mariner Day of Giving, your donation can make that happen!

Give on Dec. 2, and when students return for the first day of spring classes on Jan. 12, 2026, for one day only, your name could be proudly displayed across campus. From buildings to benches – and yes, even that favorite snack machine – every naming makes a splash.

It’s your chance to Be the Ripple in a creative way that supports scholarships, mentorship, and student success. Big or small, every gift makes waves. Your generosity helps transform lives – Every Mariner, Every Time.

Give now. Give on December 2. See your name on January 12. Make a ripple that lasts for years to come.
