#CougsGive Day of Giving is April 17

The 9th annual #CougsGive day of giving is Wednesday, April 17.

#CougsGive is a day for Washington State University alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, and friends to celebrate what makes the Cougar family special through philanthropy and advocacy. The event website is cougsgive.wsu.edu.

The 24-hour event includes live fundraising for university priorities, more than $200,000 worth of unlockable matches and challenges, and a Cougar Ambassador function that allows anyone to sign up and share their excitement about the day.

All Cougs are invited to share their personal WSU stories on social media using the hashtag #CougsGive. For those who participate as ambassadors, there will be unlockable bonuses for the individuals who refer the most donors during the day.

Since the first giving day in 2015, the WSU community has generously contributed more than $3.8 million in donations during #CougsGive and shared hundreds of touching and inspirational personal stories about their connections to the university.

If your preferred funding area is not featured on the #CougsGive website, gifts to all WSU giving platforms on the day still will be counted for the campaign.

Please visit cougsgive.wsu.edu to see all the opportunities for the day. Questions about #CougsGive can be sent to annualgiving@wsu.edu.
