About

Every person can make a difference. Join the DWU community for its third year of DWU Cares, on May 3 and 4. A day of SERVICE and a day of GIVING.

During these two days, you can make a difference. Choose to do something out of the ordinary. Clean up at a local park. Read to a child. Buy a stranger a cup of coffee. Or make a gift to an area that matters most to you:

  • Dayton Hall lobby renovations
  • Bleachers for the Christen Family Athletic Center
  • Instruments for the DWU band
  • Show your appreciation for faculty and staff at DWU
  • Scholarships for highest need students
  • Energy efficient campus improvements

Every gift counts. And when combined with gifts of others, your gift allows us to offer the best education, athletic programs and campus environment to our students and those who work here. Support what you love and inspire the Wesleyan experience like never before.

How will you make a difference?
