Today is ! For 24 hours, alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends will come together in support of a shared mission: empowering CWU students to thrive.

Your contribution during is more than a gift - it's an investment in the future of every Wildcat.

The Health Sciences department and the Paramedic and Critical Care Program are currently fundraising for a ventilator.

The Paramedic and Critical Care Program trains the next generation of EMS professionals, but currently lacks the life-saving ventilator for hands-on training. A ventilator is essential for managing patients experiencing respiratory failure, traumatic injuries, and other life-threatening conditions.

Funds raised will go directly toward purchasing a ventilator for the EMS program. This will allow students to learn proper ventilator management, practice advanced airway techniques, and train in realistic EMS and critical care transport settings.

Together, we can ensure that CWU students are known not only for where they come from but also for the far-reaching impact they'll have on the world.

Join me and make a gift to 2025
