The phrase Light It Red is synonymous with victories and celebrations at NC State. As a fan, you can lead the Pack to its next victory with the Light It Red Campaign. The end-of-year campaign is back for 2025 to encourage philanthropic giving and provide donors a chance to increase their priority ranking before the 2026 football priority giving deadline.
Contributions to the campaign will help fund a world-class education for NC State student-athletes and improve many aspects within the department. As this campaign grows, so does its impact on making NC State Athletics stronger. Recently, Light It Red funds helped improve the football game-day atmosphere with new TVs on the concourse, new goal posts, updated concourse graphics, stadium bathroom updates and upgrades to TowneBank Center.
The Light It Red Campaign is open now until Dec. 31, 2025 – in conjunction with the 2026 NC State Football Priority Giving Deadline. Gifts made towards the campaign will receive 3x priority points. Giving to Light It Red is the best way for the majority of Wolfpack Club donors to maximize priority points.
With the changes coming to the Lenovo Center and surrounding parking lots, donors who participate in this campaign can position themselves to have a stronger rank as parking options for future football seasons begin to change.
Gifts to Light It Red do not take the place of your required annual gift for seating or parking benefits. To qualify for the additional priority points, you must maintain your current Annual Scholarship Fund gift from the previous year.
Donors can make a donation of any amount to the Light It Red Campaign. To receive point credit, please donate using the specific campaign donation page by clicking here. Donations are also accepted over the phone at 919-865-1500.
