Redbird Student-Athletes Participate In WSF Thank-A-Thon

NORMAL, Ill. – Over the past two nights, 66 Illinois State student-athletes participated in a "Thank-A-Thon" to show their gratitude to Weisbecker Scholarship Fund donors for their support of ISU Athletics and their scholarships.

The two-night event took place on Wednesday and Thursday, March 29-30, and each evening was divided into two sessions. Student-athletes from various Redbird programs either spent time hand writing thank you notes to donors or making phone calls to a separate list of donors. The student-athletes graciously volunteered their time, made nearly 300 phone calls and wrote over 850 notes to donors, and all enjoyed learning more about the WSF and what it does to support them.
