Join us on April 1, 2025, for our annual day of giving celebration! We're celebrating with a kickoff event under the Clock Tower in Moritz Circle from 12:30-1:30 p.m. which will include:

  • A free lunch if you donate at LEAST $13.50 before or on April 1
  • Performances from the TXWES Ram Band and the Gold Line Dancers
  • Special appearances by President Emily Messer and Doc Brown 
  • Photo ops with Willie the Ram and Doc Brown (post your celebration pics at #txwestagday or #ramsgive)
  • Graduation philanthropy cords for graduating seniors who participated (or who want to participate) in the Senior Gift ($20.25) at a table in the Martin Center

What is Giving Day?

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

Time and time again, our TXWES community has demonstrated the huge impact that’s made when we all join together. Our goal is to raise $135,000 for 135 years of TXWES.  

Make your gift — big or small — today through April 1 and make a difference. Plus, on April 1, you’ll be able to watch our progress online and participate in gift challenges! 

Give Today

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. 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 that day to get a lunch ticket as well.)

Spread the Word

Send an email, text a friend or post on social media. In fact, we make it super easy! Be sure you follow our Texas Wesleyan Facebook page and our Instagram account @texaswesleyan so you can share the social media posts coming between now and April 1!
