Battle of the Banks

Thank you for all your support!

We are still tallying totals and will crown our Battle of the Banks winner soon. Go Deacs!

What?

The Battle of the Banks (The “BoB”) was a month-long friendly, fundraising competition amongst all Wake Forest alumni, parents and friends who work at ten (10) key financial institutions with the goal of raising a total of $1 million in cash/commitments for the University. What better way than to do so within the premise of seeing which of these banks have the most engaged and most supportive Demon Deacons?

Why?

The past year brought extraordinary challenges, but our potential to make an even greater impact on the world has never been more apparent. No matter what your philanthropic passion is, every gift will help Wake Forest provide a world-class educational experience and a wide range of opportunities for deserving students and faculty. Gifts of all sizes matter more than ever! The cumulative impact of a gift is powerful, and your participation is a sign of support for the entire Wake Forest community.

The Bank with the highest percentage of participation will receive: a year’s worth of bragging rights, their Bank’s name etched on the official Wake Forest Battle of the Banks trophy, external University recognition and a ton of Demon Deacon pride. Furthermore, we will randomly select other winners of select prizes throughout the month.

When?

The Battle of the Banks 2022 was from February 1 – February 28, 2022.

How?

To receive participation credit for The Battle of the Banks, a donor can:

  1. Make an outright gift to the University
  2. Make a payment towards a current pledge
  3. Make a new pledge commitment

Your gift can be made online or via these other ways and just make sure you reference The BoB and your Bank with your gift. Every gift matters and as long as it is made in February 2022, it will count towards your Bank’s participation percentage. Matching gifts received in this timeframe count too. So please find your passion and support your favorite school, program, team or fund this month!

For more information on how to get involved or any questions, contact Ted Tseng tsengt@wfu.edu or 336.758.5436.
