Events
The WCU Foundation’s annual signature events allows us to engage, educate, and thank our loyal donors.
West Chester University Presidential Gala
A record number of guests – more than 450 alumni, donors, WCU faculty and staff, students, friends, and corporate partners – gathered at Longwood Gardens for West Chester University’s 42nd Annual Presidential Gala in celebration of the inauguration of Dr. Laurie Bernotsky as West Chester University’s 16th president. Great food, great company, and lots of Ram Pride!
The Presidential Gold Box Experience
Sponsored by the University, WCU Athletics, and the WCU Foundation, this event is personally hosted by University President Laurie Bernotsky and Michael Bray. Loyal benefactors and Rams fans can enjoy premier seating, a pre-game social, and a halftime performance by the Incomparable Golden Rams Marching Band.
