Thank You!

The year 2020 brought unprecedented challenges, but the Marlin community has shown time and time again that together we can overcome any obstacle. Thank you for committing to Virginia Wesleyan University as a top philanthropic priority.

In December, 120 supporters gave $274,247 to The Excellence Fund for student scholarships, academic programs, and more. In addition, our #HELPUSPLAY Campaign raised $56,886 for the cost of the mandatory COVID-19 testing kits, additional PPE, and the cost of medical personnel to administer the test. The combined support of 233 donors not only covers the cost of intercollegiate guidelines, it also gives our Marlin student-athletes optimism for the upcoming season. 

On behalf of President Miller, the Center for Advancement, the Intercollegiate Athletics Department and all of VWU, thank you for supporting VWU students during this challenging time.

If you haven't participated yet, you may make your gift online or send your check to the Office of the President, Virginia Wesleyan University, 5817 Wesleyan Drive, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23455.
