Give Back to Go Forward: TXWES Annual Day of Giving

02.26.2025 | By: Texas Wesleyan University

No Foolin' - Join us on April 1, 2025, for our annual day of giving celebration! Our theme this year is "Give Back to Go Forward."  And in good "back to the future" spirit, we are kicking off our campaign with a campus-wide lunch under the Clock Tower in Moritz Circle in front of the Martin University Center during free period from 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.! You don't want to miss the TXWES band, the Gold Line dancers, President Messer and Willie the Ram! Rumor has it there will be a special appearance by Doc Brown and photo opps!  "Be there or be square!"  

During the "Give Back to Go Forward Giving Day”, the RAMily has 24 hours to unite and help Texas Wesleyan University continue providing our students with strong academic programs and crucial financial aid.

Time and again, our Texas Wesleyan community has demonstrated the huge impact that’s made when we all join together. Our goal is to raise $135,000.00 for 135 YEARS of TXWES since 1890.  

Make your gift — big or small — on April 1 and make a difference. On April 1, you’ll be able to watch our progress online and participate in gift challenges!  However, if you want to make your gift ahead of time, you can give starting now.  GIVE NOW!

Why is Giving Back to the University Important?

Donor giving percentages affect the university's national rankings. Foundations and corporations consider the donor giving percentage before awarding grants and large gifts to Texas Wesleyan. All gifts, of any size, truly make a difference.

Gold TAG (Thanking All Givers) stickers will be worn across campus on Tuesday, April 1, to show the impact of university donations. We appreciate the many alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends who support Texas Wesleyan University. By wearing your TAG sticker on April 1, you'll get a free hamburger lunch under the clock tower! (You can also donate $13.50 thta day to get a lunch ticket as well.)
