Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

Today is GivingTuesday, a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of people and organizations to transform their communities.<\/p>\n

As fundraisers for EWU, we are honored every day to engage with people like you who understand the value of doing acts of service for others. You know this university provides amazing value to students of all backgrounds and that, even so, earning a college degree is expensive and our students face a myriad of challenges.<\/p>\n

Your scholarship support gives students the extra wind they need under their wings to graduate! So, THANK YOU for giving to EWU!<\/p>\n

In this issue of Eagles Give, you will learn about different \u2013 and sometimes unique \u2013 ways that EWU supporters are unleashing the transformative power of an Eastern education.<\/p>\n

For instance, anonymous donors lit up Roos Field with a fireworks\u2019 display at the 100th Homecoming Football game. They believe shared celebration buoys the college experience for students and knits our alumni together as an intergenerational Eagle Nation that keeps our university \u2013 and regional community \u2013 strong.<\/p>\n

If you have a special giving idea of your own, please reach out and let us know. Your EWU philanthropy team is here to help you make your own transformational gift.<\/p>\n

Happy Holidays \u2013 and Go Eags!<\/p>\n
