Excellence Fund - $30,000 match!
Gary Withers '79 and his wife, Lori, have made challenging alumni on Giving Tuesday a tradition that keeps growing. What began in 2019 as a $10,000 match has increased nearly every year since. This year, Gary and Lori are back again, matching all gifts to the UW-Eau Claire Excellence Fund up to $30,000! Your gift to the Excellence Fund supports the areas of greatest need across campus — scholarships, research opportunities, academic programs, and the high-impact experiences that shape a Blugold education. Start your Giving Day off excellently: make your gift today and let Gary and Lori match your impact.
