Campus Connection

Join us Oct. 20 and 21 as we celebrate the seventh annual One Day for UWL. This tradition brings together the UW-La C rosse community to make gifts across all areas of campus and to celebrate the impact philanthropy has on the success of our students. With many ways to get involved on campus and online, we hope you’ll join us in Living and Giving Maroon! 

WHAT: One Day for UWL is our annual giving day and largest philanthropic event of the year

WHEN: Oct. 20 and 21, from 9 a.m. to 9 a.m. | 24 hours to make a difference

WHERE: On campus and online; learn more at uwlax.edu/go/givingday

WHY: Donors are the reason we can offer scholarships, unique academic programs, undergraduate research opportunities and many other advancement efforts that support student success. One Day for UWL is a tradition that celebrates what it means to Live Maroon and Give Maroon!

Goal

This year, we’re introducing the “1909 Challenge” in honor of UWL’s founding year. Once 1,909 gifts have been made, a pool of funds given by lead donors will be unlocked for the UWL Fund, supporting student scholarships and areas of need across campus.
