The Blues are back! Support Whitman student-athletes in their return to competition with a gift during Game On!

On Feb 2-3, be part of the team by giving to a specific varsity sport or the W Club Fund to boost Blues programs. Gifts support team operations, recruiting, and more to assist Whitman athletes competing at the highest level. 

Go Blues! ๏™Œ๏…๏‘


Share words of encouragement

What is the W CLUB?

With a gift to the W Club or your favorite varsity sport, you will instantly become part of the W Club! By becoming a W Club member, you are creating experiences for varsity athletes that uniquely contribute to intellectual vitality, leadership, flexibility, and a determination to succeed in a diverse and changing world.

W Club donors contribute to the success of our teams in many ways, including generous support for today's student-athletes. Gifts to the W Club provide funding for assistant coaches, the Fly-In program for recruits, and adoption of sport-specific technology used during practice and games.

Make a gift, share words of encouragement!

This year during Game On, we added a question to the end of the giving form because ... we want to hear from YOU

Thank you to Steve Setchell, VP of Development and Alumni Relations at Whitman College, for kicking off these great messages for our student-athletes.
