The 1889 Club recognizes donors for annual gifts made to the Fund for WCU, which supports scholarships, student programming, professional development, and our ongoing stewardship efforts.
Named in honor of the year of WCU’s establishment, this society embraces gifts ranging from $18.89 to $1889 a year.
The 1889 Club will host an annual event featuring cross-generational music of the region, both traditional and contemporary, as a symbol of looking to our past to inspire our future.
Preserving regional historic traditions as they relate to contemporary traditions in Western North Carolina.
