This Day of Giving will be different...as we are different. Yet, the North Central family has been and always will be #StrongerTogether.
At North Central College, one of our “Cardinal Rules” is to take care of our Cardinal family. The generosity and thoughtful philanthropy received from loyal alumni, parents, faculty, and friends remains motivated by a desire to assist our students.
Join us to impact our students, make a statement to the resiliency of North Central College, and serve as a powerful reminder that we are #StrongerTogether. Cardinal Nation! Your gift — no matter the amount — will #ImpactNC and our students!

Day of Giving Challenges!
Cardinal Operation Hope & Help Challenges
Hal & Benna Wilde Challenge in honor of Hal's 75th Birthday
Hal and Benna will donate the equivalent of the cost of a red North Central baseball hat (pledging a minimum of $1000) to the Cardinal Operation Hope & Help and COVID-19 Financial Impact funds for every gift received from the members of the classes of 1991 to 2013 (Hal's years as president) who are first time donors or whose Day of Giving gift is double their previous fiscal year's support to the College. Let's make May 14 a birthday that Hal will never forget!
Donate a Meal
Support Cardinal Operation Hope & Help with a gift of $25+, and Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers—a proud sponsor of Cardinal Athletics—will enhance your impact by providing a free meal to a student in need (up to 50 meals total).
Women's Soccer Challenge
If you were wondering…pie in the face is back, however with a twist! With a gift of $25 or more to Women's Soccer, you can pie your favorite Cardinal in the face, but they will be socially distanced in their homes! A family member will perform the pie-in-the-face honors. We’ve also brought back some fun challenges this year. When we hit the following cumulative amounts, then we will complete these challenges: $500 Team Zoom Workout, $1,000 Ice Bucket Challenge – Coach Kate and Coach Hannah, $2,500 Team Dizzy Juggling, $5,000 Team Dance Video, $10,000 Team Funny Dress-up Day to Class. It doesn’t stop there! When we reach 150 donors, you unlock 10 challenge gifts for our program!
