All In for Whitman College
|
Feature by: Development Office
|
The All In for Whitman giving days (October 25–26) are nearly here!
On Wednesday, Oct. 25, look for a table in front of Memorial Building with coffee and refreshments and learn more about this annual event. You can also help spread the word on social media by taking a selfie with the All In photo frame!
On Thursday, Oct. 26, all Whitman faculty and staff are encouraged to wear their Whitman gear, if appropriate for their role. A prize will be awarded to the employee or group showing the most Whitman spirit (judged via a social media poll). Follow @whitmancollege on Instagram and use the hashtag #allinforWhitman.
All In is a time to celebrate being a Whittie and by giving back. Thanks to the matches and challenges from generous alumni, families and friends, your gift may be matched. For example, an additional $20 will be donated on behalf of the first 50 Whitman faculty or staff members who donate in any amount! Watch for updates at give.whitman.edu/allin.
Cheer us on as we reach our goal of 1,500 donors!
