BE THE ONE.
59 SECONDS. That's all it took for the Wright brothers to change the world.
59 SECONDS. In less than a minute, they made powered flight a reality.
ONE SECOND. That's all it can take to change a student's life.
Join us on October 1, no matter where you are, to celebrate our founders' day. BE THE ONE to stand up for Wright State University students and GIVE on October 1 - THE WRIGHT DAY TO GIVE!
Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Let's make an impact for all Raiders on the Wright Day to Give.
As of 2:30 p.m. this afternoon, we have officially met the Wright State Alumni Association match of $4,000! For this year’s #WrightDay2Give, the Wright State Alumni Association Board of Directors came together to pledge to match each gift to the Alumni Association Legacy Scholarship—for every $2 given, they matched $1.
They challenged all alumni to make a gift today — and boy did our alumni come through! We did it! Shout out to the WSU Alumni Association Board. Thank you for your incredible generosity.
Now, let's get to that 600 donors before midnight to unlock another $5,000!
Thanks to all of our alumni and friends who made sure they donated before noon today. We officially unlocked a challenge from Dayton Power & Light (DP&L) for $2,500 for getting 300 donors by noon! YOU helped us get there. Thank you so much.
Special thanks to our 300th donor Susan Yeoman '00, a WSU alumna and retiree!
Our next big challenge is getting to 600 donors before the end of #WrightDay2Give to unlock $5,000 from The Greentree Group. Spread the word to help us get there!
