During the 2025 Red & Ready Giving Days, people from all corners of the Carthage College community united to fuel innovation, empower future leaders, and strengthen the Firebird spirit.
Organizers established a goal of 1,000 donors for the 36-hour celebration, and Carthaginians came through. A total of 1,048 alumni, parents, employees, students, and other supporters made gifts between midnight April 10 and noon April 11.
For those who couldn’t join us on campus, celebratory events gave graduates multiple ways to reconnect in person or virtually. More than 100 people attended social gatherings that alumni hosted in cities across the Midwest, while dozens more logged on for mini-reunions, an alumni author panel, and a Carthage-themed trivia contest.
Overall, this year’s Giving Days brought in more than $300,000 for student-centered Carthage programs and financial aid. All contributions count toward the ongoing $100 million Light that Travels campaign.
Six of the nine targeted giving challenges succeeded, as well. That secured matching gifts for visual and performing arts, athletics, study abroad, scholarships, textbooks, and student publications.
A real-time leaderboard updated throughout the Red & Ready event showed Carthaginians jockeying for the top spot in various affinity groups. Unofficially, the Class of 1978 donated the most among alumni and Delta Upsilon topped the Greek organizations.
Thank you for your generosity and enthusiasm in support of our students!
