Wheaton College Day of Giving 2024: Volunteer Toolkit
Wheaton College’s Day of Giving is a one-day online fundraising drive. Each year, Wheaton’s Day of Giving brings Wheaties together from around the world–alumni, parents, students, faculty & staff, and friends–to give back and to celebrate what they care most about the College.
In honor of Wheaton opening its doors to it’s first fifty pupils on April 22, Wheaton’s Day of Giving celebrates the abundant lives that have manifested due to Wheaton’s tradition of providing a life-changing liberal arts education.
By supporting Wheaton students during the annual Day of Giving, you help future generations of innovators, leaders, and creators embrace our motto, “That they may have life, and may have it abundantly.”
Mark your calendar and dust off your Wheaton gear. April 22 will be a virtual celebration of all things Wheaton. And it simply wouldn’t be a Wheaton party without you!
