Big day for BW Gives

It was a record-breaking day for YJ4L spirit as the Baldwin Wallace community came together to raise $375,047 for BW Gives.

The annual fundraising event, held April 7, is a 24-hour celebration of BW pride, enthusiasm and support. This year marks the eighth year of record-breaking donation totals.

"We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of alumni, trustees, friends, foundations, faculty, staff and current students who made this year's BW Gives an outstanding success," said Patrick Dunlavy '71, BW Vice President for Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement.

"Each year, we come together to show our YJ4L spirit and loyalty. As a BW alumnus myself, I know what this great university can do for a student both professionally and personally," he emphasized.

"This year was challenging for many of our students because of family job loss, income reduction or other factors that came into play because of the pandemic. Each donor gift - regardless of the amount - can help us provide financial aid to deserving students and to support important initiatives for student success," noted Dunlavy.

BW is continuing to welcome donor gifts from individuals who were unable to donate on April 7.
