MACOMB, IL -- After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, what's left? Try Giving Tuesday (Dec. 1) at Western Illinois University!

WIU alumni everywhere are invited to Giving Tuesday, a global campaign to inspire personal philanthropy and a perfect time to make a year-end annual gift to Western.

"Giving Tuesday has become a new tradition of generosity at Western," said WIU Director of Annual Giving Tim Hallinan, '95. "Gifts to Western are needed and appreciated now more than ever. Many take this opportunity to make their year-end gifts, or to support a scholarship they received during their time as a student."

Simply text the word GIVEPURPLE to 41444, or visit: http://bit.ly/givepurple to make a secure online gift.

And help WIU spread the word about #GivingTuesday. Share how you're participating by using the hashtags #GivingTuesday and #WIU on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
