Forester Day, the College’s annual day of giving, generated $750,000 in gifts from more than 1,640 donors for areas across campus, including annual scholarships, the Forester Fund, the College’s endowment, student leadership programs, and more.

Held on Thursday, February 27, the day included trivia for students, the Third Annual Telethon, a Forester Flair contest, and celebrations on campus, in Chicago, and in Denver. The entire Forester community came together to build a strong, vibrant future for the College and our students. 

  • We received gifts from 46 states 
  • The Class of 2023 had the most alumni make a gift 
  • The Forester Fund, Football, and the Spike Initiative led the leaderboard in gifts 
  • Parents of the Class of 2026 won our current parent giving challenge 
  • More than 25 percent of the Class of 2028 made a gift 

Thank you to everyone who called in to the telethon, attended our celebrations, and took the time to give back to the College. 

Mark your calendars for 2026 Forester Day on Thursday, February 26!
