WEST LIBERTY, W.Va., March 14, 2025 – West Liberty University (WLU) and the WLU Foundation are proud to announce that The Health Plan will once again serve as the Title Sponsor for Topper Day of Giving, demonstrating its continued dedication to higher education and student success.
Topper Day of Giving, set for Wednesday, March 26, 2025, is a 24-hour online fundraising campaign that unites alumni, faculty, students, and friends of WLU in a shared mission to support the university. This annual giving day has a significant impact on scholarships, academic programs, athletics, and student experiences, ensuring that West Liberty University remains a place of opportunity and excellence.
“We are grateful to have The Health Plan renew their commitment as title sponsor for our 9th annual Topper Day of Giving,” said Betsy Delk, Executive Director of the WLU Foundation. “Their support reinforces the power of community investment in higher education and amplifies the impact of our giving day.”
“We are proud to support West Liberty University and its students through Topper Day of Giving,” said Jeff Knight, President and CEO of the Health Plan. “Education is vital to the success of our region, and we believe in investing in opportunities that empower students to achieve their academic and professional goals.”
The growth of Topper Day of Giving has been fueled by the addition of “micro-campaigns” which allow donors to earmark their gifts for the Annual Fund or for the program or initiative that matters most to them. Engaged faculty, students and athletes have been encouraging gifts to their respective programs through creative social media campaigns, mailings, emails and phone calls.
Throughout the day on March 26, donors will have the chance to maximize their contributions through matching gifts and challenges, making every donation even more impactful. For a complete list of micro-campaigns and matching gifts, please visit wlufoundation.org/dayofgiving
