All In is this week!

All In is this Thursday and Friday from noon to noon! Are you ready to share, celebrate, and support Drake? We have a chance to unlock over $100,000 in challenges and matching funds for Drake University, and you can help! 

Here are five ways to join in:  

  1. Make your gift and encourage others to as well. Gifts from the Drake community have a meaningful impact, and during All In, your gift multiplies! Several matching gift challenges for colleges and units will run throughout All In. (View list here.) Plus, if we reach 1,350 donors in 24 hours, Doug Zinser, AS’96, and Dick Sussman, LA’51, will give an additional $65,000 to the Drake Fund.  
  2. Follow on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) for stories about what Drake means to our community and see all the fun that’s happening. Check out the #DrakeAllIn Tagboard feed on the website, too.  
  3. Share your own Drake stories and photos and tell your networks why Drake is such an exceptional, vibrant University, deserving of their support. Make sure you use #DrakeAllIn on your posts. 
  4. Attend the Des Moines All In Happy Hour. (Griff RSVP’ed as a ‘yes’ and will be there for pats and photo ops.) 
  5. If you can, wear jeans and your best Drake gear on Thursday and Friday.    

PS: Don’t forget: your gift could yield a pie! All faculty and staff who give will be entered to win an apple pie baked by Provost Mattison.
