Can you hear the trumpets sounding or the drums pounding, maybe thousands of fans in the distance chanting..."O we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State..."

This is the beginning of a new academic year, and the campus is already buzzing with students, parents, professors and athletes.

 It's an exciting time of year for all of Iowa State University, whether you're a new student experiencing it for the first time, or proud alum reminiscing about former classmates.  It's truly inspiring to be part of this amazing atmosphere of family, friends, and the ever popular, Cy.

Reflecting on last year, with the help of all of you, we had a record year of support to the University through Campaign Iowa State: With Pride and Purpose, with a total of $135,384,000 in gift production!  This accomplishment puts us on track to attain the largest campaign goal in the University's history to raise $800 million for our students, faculty, facilities and programs.

If you would like to be a part of this momentous endeavor by making a gift to Iowa State through a pledge, outright, or possibly even your estate, please contact us by phone (800) 621-8515 or e-mail giftplanning@foundation.iastate.edu.   Our gifts planning officers are eager to assist you in realizing your philanthropic goals. 
 
"...Loyal sons forever true, and we will fight the battle through..."
