#CougsGive '24
Cougs Help Cougs
When you're part of the Cougar Family, that means you're connected to a worldwide network of friends, peers, mentors, partners, and fellow Cougs. "Cougs Help Cougs" means we want to see each other succeed and we're willing to help our peers along the way through mentorship, advocacy, support, and generosity. Every year, tens of thousands of generous Cougs pay it forward by donating to causes, programs, scholarships, and experiences across the Washington State University System.
On April 17, 2024, the Cougar Family will come together to acknowledge WSU's donors and volunteers and recognize the outsized impact they create annually in our communities. We'll celebrate WSU's many notable goals, plans, achievements, and successes. We'll share our stories about why WSU is so special to us. And then we'll make gifts to support the areas that we care about the most!
You can support #CougsGive by signing up as a Cougar Ambassador, sharing your own WSU story, encouraging your peers and fellow Cougs to join in, and then giving to the areas that mean the most to you on April 17! Go Cougs!
