All In For Wesleyan

Tuesday, April 3rd is our day of giving at Illinois Wesleyan and this year’s theme is
Think Bigger!

Not only is today a day for giving, it’s a day to celebrate IWU and all of the things that make it special.  Last year, our class had an impressive 58 donors, let’s try for 65 this year!  We contributed $3270. Our goal for this year is $3700! Think of the impact this can make for IWU students and their families!
