For eight years, Linfield University has exceeded its giving day goal thanks to the generosity of its alumni, students, parents, employees and friends. The 2023 event, held May 3 and 4, 2023, was no different. The Linfield community came together to raise more than $680,000 during One Wild Day. During the 28-hour event, 680 donors made a gift, far exceeding the $550,000 goal.
Fueled by the efforts of staff members, students and volunteers, the community came together to support various elements of Linfield life including academic departments, athletic teams and the Linfield Fund, which contributes to scholarships and student support.
“I would say I’m blown away, but in each year since this campaign started in 2016, the Wildcat community far exceeds our goals” said Joseph Hunter, vice president for university advancement. “We always talk about the sense of community here at Linfield and giving day is the perfect example of what that our close-knit community can accomplish. We are so appreciative of everyone who made a gift to help ensure the Linfield experience is available to all students who seek it.”
