Join the UWL community Oct. 20–21 for 24 hours of giving and Eagle pride
UW-La Crosse’s annual giving day, One Day for UWL, returns Oct. 20–21, bringing the campus community together to support the people, programs and experiences that make UWL special.
Now in its seventh year, One Day for UWL has raised more than $2.2 million to support students and campus initiatives. The annual tradition celebrates the impact of philanthropy and gives Eagles an opportunity to make a difference in areas they care about.
One Day for UWL runs from 9 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20 to 9 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, offering 24 hours to give. With more than 200 areas to support, donors can choose from a wide range of opportunities, including academic programs, sports clubs, scholarships and more.
Gifts can be made online at uwlgivingday.uwlax.edu, where donors can explore giving options and find the causes that matter most to them.
Whether giving online or participating in campus activities, everyone is invited to celebrate what it means to be an Eagle and help make a lasting impact on the UWL community.
Join the campus celebration with free events throughout the day!
