It was the week before Thanksgiving, but several hundred UF students gave thanks Wednesday morning during the first-ever Grateful Gator Day. Students thanked about 30,000 UF donors on the Plaza of the Americas by writing about 1,000 handwritten orange cards, video-taping their Gator Chomps and posing for photos with a giant, polka-dotted "THANKS." The event served to make students aware of how much money people donate to the university, said Kevin Marfiak, a 23-year-old UF biology senior and Cicerone who helped plan the event.
