During our time here, Wheaton has become our home. A place that has encouraged us to grow into our future selves, create lifelong friends, and cherish memories. Together we have the opportunity to better our college for now and ever more.
Giving back is in Wheaton's DNA and can be traced back to the founding of the college from a gift of land & money in the form of a trust given by the Wheaton family. We, the Senior Class Gift Committee, hope that you choose to support the Class of 2022 in its goal of giving back so that Wheaton can continue to be a college where all may have life, and have it abundantly.
Why Should You Give?
Over the past 188 years, Wheaton community members have united to show the power of participation with donations to the college. Did you know that every single student at Wheaton has benefitted from donor generosity in some way? Donors support academic programs, financial aid & scholarships for students, and overall priorities that boost success for students every day. Participating in the senior class gift can pay it forward and ensure we leave a legacy that future students have access to the same opportunities we did.
Where Should You Give?
Look back on your Wheaton experience: what has made a significant impact on your time at Wheaton or shaped who you are today? Consider supporting the college in an area that you feel most connected to—an academic program, an athletics team, a campus partner that helped your student club, or maybe a scholarship or internship you personally benefitted from.
Wheaton's #GivingTuesday started seven years ago as a simple idea: a day of giving that celebrates the generosity of the Wheaton community. Because of previous supporters, this day is one of our community's most philanthropic days!
Thank you to all who attended the Senior Class Gift Kick-Off event on Friday, November 12th. We had a fantastic time and appreciate that we already have 66 Donors!
As promised, all donors were entered into our raffle to win a FREE Senior Week ticket. Again, here are the rules:
1. A donation towards the Senior Class Gift will grant you one raffle ticket.
2. All monthly recurring donations (of any size) or making a Young Leaders Circle donation ($50+) will grant you five raffle tickets.
3. Pledge it Forward and commit to a yearly gift—of at least $10—for the next four years will grant you ten raffle tickets.
Congratulations, Jillian Riveros, for being our first winner!
