The Western Challenge
Become an Advocate for The Western Challenge
Influence the day’s success by encouraging your colleagues, alumni, classmates, and friends to support Western Illinois University on April 24!
It's easy. Here's how:
✔️ Create Your Account (or if you already have one, Log in)
- Visit wiu.edu/westernchallenge/ and click on "Become an Advocate."
- Join 450+ fellow Leathernecks in our Advocate Community!
- We can only celebrate your hard work when you're logged in to GiveCampus!
Then, when we launch the Western Challenge Campaign Page:
⭐️ Consider Your Own Gift
- Lead by example and make your own gift early. It's much easier to ask your friends and family to join you in making a gift when you’ve already done it yourself!
🤝 Offer a Match (or Challenge)
- Leverage your gift and encourage others to give via a match or challenge.
- Consider restricting your match or challenge by your class year, affiliation, or to a list of your friends (by email address) to raise the stakes. See campaign page for details.
💌 Share, Share, Share
- The built-in sharing buttons on the campaign page generate a link that is unique to you. If you share while you're logged in, we can track it and celebrate your impact!
- Share via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Text Message, Email, Phone Call, Carrier Pigeon…
🎥 Tell Your Story!
- Create a Personal Plea and post it to the campaign page!
- Film a quick video to share why you’re excited about the campaign, and why others should get involved. Keep it quick, casual, and fun!
