Questions and Answers
Below you will find answers to many common questions about #AllforWU2019.
Why is this day held on Feb. 6?
Washburn University was founded on Feb. 6, 1865. We believe there is no better day than a birthday to let someone or something know how much you mean to them and thank them for all they have done for you. This year, Washburn turns 154 years old! Happy Birthday, Washburn!
Can I make a gift before Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019 and have it count?
Of course! Please visit our donation page, select "Day of Giving" as your reason for giving, and select where you would like your gift to be designated.
