The Western Challenge, an energized 24-hour online fundraising event to support the WIU students, faculty, and campus programs. It’s a day for Leathernecks everywhere to unite in giving to support the departments, scholarships, and causes most meaningful to us at Western Illinois University.

Give Purple. Give Gold. Give Back.

When the Leatherneck community unites, there is no limit to what we can achieve for our students.
