About the Founded in Purpose. Giving for Tomorrow Challenge

Founded in Purpose. Giving for Tomorrow.

190+ years of legacy. 24 hours of impact. September 30.

Founder’s Day, celebrated on September 30th, honors Wheaton College's rich history and traditions, dating back to 1889, when students and teachers first celebrated Eliza Wheaton’s birthday with a special “Wheaton Fete Day” on campus. Today, we carry that spirit forward by coming all together as a community to celebrate all that makes Wheaton special and investing in the future we're shaping together.

Join us on September 30 for 24 hours dedicated to celebrating the Wheaton community and supporting the students, programs, and experiences that mean the most to you.
