Big Blue, we’re feeling you!

Your early support has been nothing short of amazing. A huge thanks to all who’ve given so far—momentum is on our side!

Remember, “A” comes before “E” in the alphabet. Let’s keep it that way. In all things.

When I say Blue, you say White!

Big Blue, let’s hear you! The challenge is on—and it’s winning time. Right now! We need your gift of any size to beat Exeter.

By the way, hasn’t "E" always been the weakest of the vowels? Always hanging out at the end of words like "lose."

So true. Let’s take out the E together!
