Over 200 groups involved in “One Day for UW-L,” and Lauren Wanders stopped in studio to help preview the 24-hour event.
Wanders is the Annual Giving Coordinator at UW-L. The event begins at 9 a.m. Tuesday and runs until 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Wanders highlights some of the big matching campaigns, including $25,000 for the Adapted Physical Education program — a 40-year program that could lose its federal funding. There’s also a $1,000 match from WKTY Cares for River Watch — where students volunteer to watch over the Mississippi River area to prevent alcohol-related tragedies that result in accidental drownings.
Wanders said the fundraising ranges from sports like the football and cross country teams to scholarships to academics and students organizations. You can search for your favorite here or join the events that are happening on campus.
