Washington and Lee University
Washington and Lee is renowned for the enthusiasm and devotion of its students and alumni. Anyone who has ever eavesdropped on move-in day, strolled on the Colonnade over Parents and Family Weekend, or watched the audience swell with pride during commencement knows we benefit from an equally enthusiastic parent and family community.
We are fortunate that many parents show their appreciation for W&L by donating to the Parents Fund.
The Parents Fund is comprised of unrestricted annual gifts donated by parents and families of current and past W&L students. It contributes to the overall Annual Fund goal and as such helps meet the University’s most pressing needs every year.
The 2009-2010 goal for the Parents Fund is $1,000,000.00. Please help us reach it!
Here are the final standings for the Parents during the 2008-09 year::
2012: 44.7% of all first-year parents made a gift
2009: 39.5% of all senior parents made a gift
2010: 37.3% of all junior parents made a gift
2011: 34.3% of all sophomore parents made a gift
The Parents Fund supports every aspect of your student's education. More than ever, we need your contributions to keep W&L strong.
Help the school your student loves and show your class spirit (remember, gifts of all sizes count equally in the Participation Race.) Make a gift to the Parents Fund today!
