WSU Foundation Inaugural Crimson Celebration

Saturday, September 5

5-7 p.m.

Hyatt Regency | Seattle, WA

Thank you for a wonderful evening!

The inaugural Crimson Celebration was an evening celebrating the collective impact of our 2025 and 2026 Benefactors, Laureates, and 1890 Legacy Society members, whose generosity and vision are shaping Washington State University’s future.

Held in conjunction with WSU in the Puget Sound and the Apple Cup, this special evening brought together generations of proud Cougs to honor the life-changing impact of private support for students, faculty, and programs across our university.

We express our deep gratitude for the remarkable difference you are making at Washington State and throughout the communities we serve.
