Founder's Day - September 17
Support Shocker Rowing and Help Us Finish First
Founders Day at Wichita State University is the annual day of giving, and last year
Shocker Rowing finished second in total number of donations. This year, we have a chance to go even further — and
every donor can help make it happen.
On September 17, donors will have the opportunity to make an even greater impact through matches and challenge gifts offered by the WSU Foundation. A special Student Group Challenge will award financial prizes to the top three groups with the most individual donors
that day:
- 1st Place: $1,000
- 2nd Place: $600
- 3rd Place: $400
These challenge funds are available only on September 17, making that date the most effective time to give.
All contributions to Shocker Rowing support athlete‑related expenses and help build
our endowments, strengthening the long‑term sustainability and competitiveness of
the program. Gifts to our general Foundation account can be used immediately after
Founders Day or transferred into one of our endowments to support the longevity of
Shocker Rowing.
