UWKV's match enhanced donations to the Community Foundation's Washburn Tech Assistance Funds.

The total amount raised for the day was $243,807.54. More than $4,000 of those dollars went to three schools receiving Washburn Tech Assistance Fund contributions:
- Holton Washburn Tech Assistance Fund - $2,630.83
- Royal Valley Washburn Assistance Fund - $1,258.97
- Jackson Heights Washburn Tech Assistance Fund - $839.15
These dollars help students access training programs at Washburn Tech to gain necessary workforce skills and be more financially stable. For many students, this is truly a pathway out of poverty.
