One of Drake’s most exciting and successful advancement and fundraising activities is back and better than ever. On April 4–5, the Drake community will rally around the University for All In. During this 24-hour giving challenge, alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, and friends will share, celebrate, and support Drake. As a non-profit University, Drake relies on philanthropic support to fulfill its mission. During All In, every gift goes further through matching funds and donor count challenges.  

A new ambassador program is one way All In will be more dynamic this year. Ambassadors are provided with exclusive resources to help spread the All In message and track their impact. As faculty and staff members, your connections and endorsement will help All In achieve even more in 2019. Sign up to be an ambassador.  

All In primarily takes place online and on social media, where people share their Drake stories and pride and give to the All In fundraiser. Student events will happen on campus during the day and a happy hour event for alumni, faculty, and staff will also take place in Des Moines during the evening of April 4. (More details to come.)  

Contact Becca Widmer, director of annual giving, at becca.widmer@drake.edu if you have any questions about the Ambassador program or the All In challenge and be sure to follow the Drake Alumni social channels, (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter), which will be the primary social feeds for All In, but expect to see All In everywhere Drake is.
