What should I name my squirrel?
You can name one of these charming, bushy-tailed creatures after yourself, your friends, your family or about anything you choose: perhaps a favorite professor, your favorite residence hall, or your favorite Taylor Swift song. Name it something punny or make it a heartfelt tribute. The possibilities are almost endless.

Is there anything I can’t name my squirrel? 
Because we respect the dignity of our campus cohabitants, our OHIO Giving Day Squirrel Squad vets each squirrel’s name and reserves the right to decline any name that we feel is beneath the dignity or delicate sensibilities of our beloved acorn-loving friends. If a name is declined, you will have one opportunity to submit an alternate, but your gift will not be refunded, so choose wisely!

Is this name legally binding?
While the impact of your gift is real, this naming opportunity is only symbolic. With your $18.04+ gift, we hereby vest in you the power to point at any squirrel that issues forth from any tree on College Green and call it by whatever name you choose. We will not refute your claim. Just don’t attempt to hug them — they’re named, not tamed.

Can I share my squirrel’s name on social?
Yes! We love to see all the creative names, and it’s a fantastic way to encourage your fellow Bobcats to give on Giving Day!

Why…squirrels? That seems…odd. 
We prefer the terms “quirky” and “eclectic” and “genius.” Ohio University’s squirrels are iconic, plentiful and fun. We’ll never run out of these rascally rodents to name, and we believe that giving back to OHIO should be as fun and unique as the University itself.
