Future Focus Fund

We’re heading into the final hours of Parkside Day! It’s time to rally for our student-athletes. Our teams are competing for incentives right now—which squad are you backing? 

The doors are opening for the Champions of Parkside Success Celebration! While we honor our donors in person tonight, you can be a champion from anywhere. Every gift made during the dinner (5:30-7:30pm) unlocks $100 for student emergency and need-based aid for the Future Focus Fund. 

Join the celebration by making a gift now! 

Whatever part of UW-Parkside you love most, an anonymous donor wants to help you support it. Whether you are passionate about your specific academic department, a favorite student organization, or Ranger Athletics, your impact is about to double. 

Double Your Impact! 

From 2 PM to 4 PM, gifts made to any fund on campus will be matched dollar for dollar up to $100. With $5,000 available in matching funds, now is the perfect time to give to the area that matters most to you and make your contribution go twice as far. 

Choose your cause and make your gift before the clock runs out!

Take a virtual breath of fresh air. The Anna Maria Williams Nature Trail is a campus treasure, and today, Dr. Susan Cable '81 is matching gifts to keep our campus beautiful. Whether you were a student of Dr. Anna Maria Williams or just enjoy the campus, help us preserve this space. 

Support Campus Beautification OR the Anna Maria Williams Nature Trail (or both!) and see your gift matched! 

It’s time for the Lunch Crunch! Grab your lunch and make a gift. Between now and 1:00 PM, if we get 50 donors, an anonymous donor will unlock $5,000 for Parkside Pathway, a scholarship for incoming and transfer students. Your gift of any size right now helps us secure this major boost for student scholarships. 

Give in the next 60 minutes to unlock $5,000! 

Recharge on Parkside Day with some furry friends. The therapuppies are at the Library to help our Rangers de-stress and share some puppy love. Stop by to say hello and get those tails wagging! 

Leader of the Pack Challenge! 

We are looking for 20 leaders of the pack to help us hit a major milestone. Be one of the first 20 people to register for Paws & Claws (UW-Parkside's official pet club), and the Parkside Employee Alumni Group will chip in an extra $10 per person (up to $200) to boost the scholarship total. Ready, set, wag! 

Register your pet and join the club here:

Even the mascot needs a little caffeine to get through the biggest day of the year. Ranger Bear was spotted on the Bridge this morning at the Bridge Social! If you see him around campus today, grab a selfie and tag us on Instagram and Facebook.  

Bonus! For every tag on Instagram and Facebook, a donor will give $5 to UW-Parkside Scholarships.  

Parkside Day is about more than just giving; it is about showing our Ranger pride through giving back. Whether it is planting native greenery near Wyllie Hall, painting windows to protect our local bird population, or making thank you calls to our generous donors, our volunteers are making a massive impact across campus today. 

It is officially Parkside Day! We have 24 hours to come together for our students and our community. Our big milestone? Mission: 1968. If we reach 968 donors, we unlock a $1,968 challenge gift for the Future Focus Fund! 

Give now to help us hit 968 donors!
