Donalyn (Huling) Bratton ’70

Donalyn would like to share some news about her life with husband, David:

We are “loving the lifestyle” living in The Villages, FL for the past 20 months. We have gotten active in a church plant -Live Oaks Community Church. We have an active social life through many of our Village of Sanibel activities. I enjoy booking travel for friends through my home office. We enjoyed a Baltic Heritage cruise this summer. We have also enjoyed hosting many friends from up north as they come to FL!

YOU did it!

More than 5,000 alumni showed their support by making a gift to IWU in fiscal year 2014!

And for the second year straight, Illinois Wesleyan alumni have grown our alumni giving percentage. We are now at 23%!

THANK YOU for doing your part to keep IWU strong.  

47 Alumni Needed

IWU’s fiscal year ends TODAY – July 31 – Thank you if you’ve already made your annual gift!

Now help us find the 47 additional alumni donors we need to reach our participation goal by today. Organizations view alumni participation as the metric that measures alumni satisfaction. It affects IWU’s ranking, bond rating, and ability to earn grants, so make your gift today at iwu.edu/give to keep IWU strong!  Every donor counts!
