Our Staff will Run Stairs for 26 Gifts to the WAMS Exercise Science Lab
The WAMS Exercise Science Lab / Jack R. Leighton Human Performance Lab is in need of improvements to our interdisciplinary space as we expand our ability to support research projects that engage undergraduate and graduate students in applied learning. Be one of the first 26 donors to this project, and your generosity will inspire the Senior Director of Philanthropy for the College of Health Science & Public Health, Kaarin Appel, to climb the stadium stairs once in honor of each donor! For every additional donor beyond our goal, Professor Chadron Hazelbaker will celebrate with a push-up too!

Fund a Full Tuition Scholarship for a Student Athlete
Hello Eag Nation! This is AD Tim Collins. On Giving Joy Day, help me fund one full-tuition scholarship for a 2026–27 student-athlete. In fact, I'll start us off with a $144 pledge in honor of Swoop's Birthday Challenge! I’ll add $100 for the first $1,000 Eag Nation gives. Give another $1,000 – I’m in for another $144! You give another $1,000, and I’ll contribute $200. When your gifts reach $4,000, I’m in for another $144 in Swoop’s honor. You get the idea, right? If Eag Nation can give $7,000 by midnight on April 3, I’m on the hook for the rest -- and together we’ll change a life with a full tuition scholarship for an EWU student-athlete. Ready, set, GIVE!
