March 22nd is
Terry Give Back Day!
Join the Terry Community as we give back to the world around us in honor of Howard and Nancy Terry's mission. Together, we can make an impact!
How do YOU give back?
THIS YEAR'S GOAL:
322 EXAMPLES OF GIVING BACK
Give Time and Share Service Stories
Help reach our goal by performing an act of service in honor of Give Back Day.
Any Terry Scholar can share a service activity, and you may count activities done alone or as part of projects hosted by other groups or organizations.
Scholars may also report acts of service by non-Terry Scholars (family, friends, etc.) if they were done in honor of Give Back Day.
Each act of service brings us one "give back" example closer to our goal!

The Origin of Terry Give Back Day
Mr. and Mrs. Terry were honored for their philanthropy in a proclamation by the City of Houston in 2011. The city named March 22nd "Nancy and Howard Terry Day" in celebration of the Terrys, with a group of Terry Scholars present to mark the occasion. Although it is a proclamation of a single city, this day is a reminder of the far-reaching impact that can be made by investing in education.
March 22nd - Terry Give Back Day is a celebration of the many ways Terry Scholars give back to the world around them. Through acts of service and philanthropy, Terry Scholars honor the mission and vision of the Terry Foundation as a global community.
