One Ball State Day Socks
Any cumulative gift of $100 or more on One Ball State Day will earn you an exclusive pair of socks featuring a one-of-a-kind design, created by Ball State Alumnus Jim Davis '67 (thank you, Jim!). These socks are one size fits most and are only available on One Ball State Day 2025. Please note that one pair of socks will be provided per eligible donor, with processing and shipping taking approximately 6-8 weeks. While the design will remain the same, it may appear slightly different when printed on the socks.
Join us in answering Our Call to Beneficence on April 2nd. Your support on One Ball State Day directly impacts our students, faculty, and communities—creating a stronger future for all.
