Drake University's Here's to The One crowdfunding program is about making a direct impact on specific causes and projects at Drake.
What does "Here's to the One" mean?
“Here’s to the One” is a phrase from Drake’s fight song, “The ‘D’ Song”. (The full line is “Here’s to the one who wears the D.”) The name is a nod to a Drake tradition, but also serves to recognize the many people at Drake who are doing incredible things.
Will there be more crowdfunding projects?
Yes! Crowdfunding at Drake was launched in Fall 2019 with a pilot project for our Live Mascot Program. Check back in the coming months for updates and more projects to support!
