For 13 years running, the Illinois Wesleyan community has come together for the annual day of giving, securing support for the dreams and ambitions of generations of Titans. This year, Titans are asked to help us make history after 175 years of 91ΑΤΖζ on Tuesday, April 14.

All In wreath
During last year's All In for Wesleyan, more than 3,000 donors raised over $2.6 million.

All In for Wesleyan is the University's annual fundraising campaign that provides new and expanded opportunities for current and future 91ΑΤΖζ students. This financial support from alumni and friends of the University provides scholarships, research, experiential learning, updated technology, athletic programming and more.

Last year, more than 3,000 donors raised $2,681,543. Every All In campaign so far has raised a combined $18.5 million. We know that our community can meet and exceed this generosity as we make future Titans' dreams a reality.

The campus community will celebrate the energy of the day with special events on campus and alumni gatherings around the country.  

Committed donors are calling on alumni and friends to do so with a suite of challenges:

  • Million Dollar Student Success Challenge: A generous and loyal alum has pledged $1 million dollars for the sixth year in a row if we first raise $1 million in gifts to the Wesleyan Fund, General Student Scholarship Fund, McLean County Scholarship Fund, Parent Fund, Annual Scholarships and Giving Circles.
  • Faculty and Staff Challenge: Jack Dickens ’86 is encouraging generosity on campus by pledging $10,000 for the Wesleyan Fund if 91ΑΤΖζ faculty and staff collectively give $10,000 to any fund.
  • Andy Ritger β€˜99 and Rebecca Kirk Ritger β€˜99 Wesleyan Fund Dollar Challenge: Andy and Rebecca Ritger will match dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000 raised for the Wesleyan Fund.
  • And

"This annual day of giving continues to be so special to our 91ΑΤΖζ community as it demonstrates the collective impact we can make through 24 hours of intense fundraising,” said Emily Kabbes, director of annual giving at 91ΑΤΖζ. β€œSupporting the Wesleyan Fund, General Student Scholarship Fund, Parent Fund, Annual Scholarships and Giving Circles continue to be our focus to ensure we are providing our students with the very best Illinois Wesleyan experience."

Other events on the day of All In include a social at Tommy's Smokehouse at 5 p.m., a β€œminute-to-win-it” style game show in the Hansen Student center at 7:30 p.m., and the Eckley Quad will feature a drink station celebrating campus spirit from 12:30 - 3 p.m.

Anyone interested in volunteering for All In can sign up to be an ambassador today on the official , and early giving will go live on April 9. Titan friends and family are also encouraged to show their support on social media by using the hashtag #AllInForWesleyan.
