About

Your gift fuels opportunity. On RWU Giving Day, you can empower our Hawks to learn, lead, and soar. Make your gift to the Hawk Fund to support financial aid and scholarships; the Blue and Gold Club to support student-athletes; or the Alumni Association Fund to strengthen alumni connections and support programs that keep Hawks engaged for life.

With matching gifts and challenges throughout Giving Day, your generosity can go even further and make an even bigger impact!

Double your impact

Make a gift to the Hawk Fund for financial aid and scholarship and help us reach our goal. The impact of your gift, whether it be $10, $20, or $1,000, will be doubled with these generous matching gifts.
Proud alum, Lucas Laager ’23, will match all gifts to the Hawk Fund up to $70,000.

RWU Athletics Match

Hawks, it's time to step up to the plate. RWU baseball alumnus Orin Wilf ’96 is swinging for the fences with an exciting challenge. Orin will match every gift to RWU Athletics, dollar for dollar, up to $25,000. Let's knock this challenge out of the park and raise $50,000 for RWU Athletics. Go Hawks!

Parent Challenge

An anonymous parent of a Class of 2029 RWU student has stepped up to match all gifts made by parents, up to $15,000.

Alumni Challenge

Join Us for the 4th Annual Alumni Challenge. Trustee and Campaign co-chair Todd Rechler ’93 and his wife, Stacey, have generously pledged $50,000 if we reach 600 alumni donors. Every gift counts. Every alumnus matters. 600 alumni. One extraordinary challenge. $50,000 for our Hawks.

Updates
We hit our dollar goal! Alums: keep pushing; we still have $50,000 on the line!

A HUGE RWU Thank You to everyone who has made a gift already today. Thanks to your generosity, we have eclipsed our goal of $350,000 for Giving Day. But we aren't done yet. 

RWU alumni: we have not yet hit our Alumni Donor Challenge, 600 alumni donors. If we reach 600 alumni donors, we will unlock a $50,000 challenge gift from Todd and Stacey Rechler. There is still plenty of time. Give now!
