With 1,680 donors coming together to collectively give over half a million dollars, this year’s All In is one for the record books.

Featuring a new site with live countdown, results tracking in real time, nationwide and international heatmaps, and an extensive slate of matching gifts or challenges covering almost every area at Drake, the community of alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends showed up and went All In.

The day also brought lots of great social media traffic with then and now photos, Drake stories, and fun videos featuring Drake “celebrities,” students, and of course–Griff!

Thank you so much to those of you who took this opportunity to share, celebrate, and support Drake with your gift during the All In challenge. One more very important result is the winner of the Provost Mattison pie raffle. A winner was randomly selected from all faculty and staff members who gave and this year’s lucky recipient of a homemade apple pie is Dustin German, Assistant Director of Ticket Sales and Community Engagement in the Athletics department. Congrats Dustin and thank you to Provost Mattison for offering up your baking expertise each year.
