For 25 years, A Day for Nicolet has been more than just a day; it’s been a powerful tradition of transforming lives. Since 2000, this campaign has raised over $3.5 million to support scholarships, emergency funds, and academic programs, helping thousands of students overcome barriers, pursue their dreams, and build brighter futures.
This milestone year is a celebration of every student empowered, every dream realized, and every donor who made it possible. Your support continues to be a lifeline—fueling the next generation of leaders, creators, and change-makers.
