About

Every Leatherneck. Everywhere.

No matter where your opportunities take you, you'll always be a Leatherneck. Whether your education has taken you across the country, across the world, or you chose to stay close to your community, you're a key part of Leatherneck Nation.

Leatherneck Nation has consistently supported Western with gifts to the programs and initiatives they love most. We're celebrating the way that support comes from all over the world by highlighting each state which gives to the Western Challenge. Make sure your state is lit up by showing your support.

We're excited to provide a bit of an extra push to what is an easy choice to make--the choice to give back to Western. A gift of $60 or more--one per donor, please--earns you a pair of these W socks to show off wherever WIU takes you. Your support helps provide opportunities to current and future students who will always call WIU home. Supplies are limited, so be sure to get your gift in early to secure your socks!

Wherever you are, wherever you're going, all together now:

GO 'NECKS!

Incentives
For a gift of $60 or more, receive a LIMITED EDITION run of W-socks, only for the Western Challenge! One pair per donation per household, please!
