Do you have unique Drake items that you want to find a new home for?
Consider donating your Drake memorabilia and treasures to the Office of University Communications and Marketing to auction off for their scholarship fund. Their unique fundraising efforts caught the attention of The Chronicle of Philanthropy in this article.
The office has collected pieces of Drake memorabilia over the years and auctioned them off on their scholarship Facebook page. Many Bulldogs on campus have expressed a generosity of spirit in donating items they have once found joy in, but are now ready to let go after binging the Marie Kondo series.
Some past items have included a piece of the blue oval, Bulldog bookends, flags, bobble heads, Drake basketball sketches, signed Bucksbaum posters, and even non-tangibles like tennis lessons or dog sitting.
If you have any items to donate, or want to make a financial contribution, please email us at socialmedia@drake.edu. Details about the auction will be published in a future issue of OnCampus, giving you a chance to secure your rare Drake items!
