As we move into fundraising for Phase II of the Pride Practice Facility project, we need you to dig deep and help us meet the challenges! Thanks to two WVU alumni you will have two challenges to take advantage of on Day of Giving, specifically supporting the Pride Practice Field and Facility project!

Alum Dave Hendrickson has generously provided a $40,000 challenge. While donations all day supporting The Pride of West Virginia will help us to unlock this challenge from Mr. Hendrickson, we are targeting the 1:00 - 2:00 PM hour for this challenge, to help maximize the availability of BONUS dollars (Most Gifts Bonus Hour) that will be available.

A generous late-night challenge has been established by Alum Ron Davoli, and his wife Paula. We’re specifically targeting 10:00 - 11:00 PM and the BONUS available through the “Repeat Gifts Challenge.” If you donated earlier in the day, a second gift during the Repeat Gifts Challenge hour will help unlock an additional $10,000 from Mr. and Mrs. Davoli!

A gift as small as $5 counts for the Day of Giving. To capitalize on the University-wide challenges, consider dividing a larger gift up into smaller donations during the hour/day so you can have the most impact to help us win additional funds for The Pride Practice and Field Facility!

WVU Day of Giving will begin Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at midnight EST and will run until 11:59 PM EST to allow for donations to be made for a 24-hour period. There are two ways you can donate to support The Pride:

• Donate ON Day of Giving: On March 22, visit Day of Giving and be part of this very high-energy day by making your donation.
• Donate by check: Mail a check to the WVU College of Creative Arts, Attention: Jennifer Jordan, PO Box 6111, Morgantown, WV 26506. Note: Day of Giving, Fund 2W1403. Please let Jennifer know, by email (Jennifer.Jordan@mail.wvu.edu), that you are sending a check so it gets counted toward the Day of Giving.

Please visit Day of Giving on Wednesday, March 22nd to make your donation. 

Thank you for your continued support of the WVU Marching Band!
