There’s big Gator spirit in the smallest packages
Make a gift of $20 to the area of UF you care about the most and get a Li'l Albert Fighting Gator Mini-Mascot, a plush, attachable alligator ready to hang with you anywhere! On your backpack or shoelaces, your handlebars or handbag.
Bring him along for the ride on your rearview mirror, your keyring, your steering wheel or your gear stick. Or let him set up permanent residence on a curtain rod, reading lamp or refrigerator door.
Wherever he goes, your love for UF will be on full display because every gift you make ensures academics, scholarships, athletics, research, student services, health care – every area touched by the University of Florida – remains strong.
Make a big difference and get a Li'l Albert!
You can also spread the love and send your Li'l Albert to a pediatric patient at UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital. Or for a gift of $35, we’ll send one Albert to you and one to a young patient.
