Remember Virginia Wesleyan on Giving Tuesday!
Black Friday. Cyber Monday. The countdown to Giving Tuesd
ay is ON! Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. It is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving in the United States and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. One of the best ways to get involved in Giving Tuesday is in your own community, and we hope you remember Virginia Wesleyan as you consider your annual charitable gifts. Annual giving is the cornerstone of philanthropy at VWC and provides the vital revenue stream that supports a variety of funding priorities - benefiting students, faculty and the campus community as a whole.
To make your gift today or on Giving Tuesday, visit www.vwc.edu/giveonline.
A gift to The Excellence Fund will support annual scholarships, academic initiatives, student life, library and technology resources, and athletics.
