We are just nine days away from the biggest advancement and fundraising event of the year and the excitement is building online and on campus.

In addition to spreading the word about All In, be sure to RSVP and attend the Des Moines All In Happy Hour on Thursday, April 5, from 5–7 p.m. at Gilroy’s Kitchen + Pub + Patio at 1238 8th Street, West Des Moines. Register to attend here. This event is open to the entire Des Moines Drake community and is a great opportunity to catch up with alumni, parents, and friends of Drake so let your networks know you’re going and you’d love to see them there. 

Also, returning for the third year to sweeten the deal is Provost Mattison’s Faculty/Staff Pie drawing. Each faculty or staff member who makes a gift during All In will be entered into a drawing to win a delicious homemade apple pie from Provost Mattison herself. 

For more information on All In this year and to follow along with our challenges and sign up as an ambassador, visit drake.edu/allin. If you have any questions about All In please feel free to contact Becca Widmer, director of annual giving, at becca.widmer@drake.edu.
