Leatherneck Nation is built by fans, for fans. It’s our dedicated home to talk all things Western Illinois University athletics, share news, cheer on our teams, and keep the Leatherneck community connected year-round.
Running and maintaining the site comes with ongoing server, hosting, and software costs. If you enjoy having a space to talk Leatherneck sports, please consider making a donation to help cover our operational expenses and keep the community ad-free and fast.
Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a huge difference and helps ensure Leatherneck Nation stays online and active for all WIU fans. Thank you for your support and go Leathernecks!
I just wanted to say thank you all so much for your donations. Because of your generosity, once I finish transferring all the donations to the website account, and plus the remaining funds left over from the ads that were being run, there will be $417.25 in the account (I told you I wanted to be transparent about everything).
As I said, it's $190/year to run the site, and I'm more than happy to cover a portion of that, so I'll make that $400+ cover the next 4 years of running the site, assuming the costs stay roughly the same. I'll make a note in my calendar and once that money runs out in...doing the math...2030 (how are we that close to 2030, btw?), I'll put out another call for donations.
But for now, enjoy Leatherneck Nation, ad-free.
