Wanted to send a reminder out there that if you donate to the Hokie Club 110% of what you donated last year then you get to tour the indoor practice facility the Friday before the Pittsburgh game. If you are a new donor you need to give at least $110 to be part of the Hokie Club 110% campaign.
#HokieNation stepped up AGAIN! Over 1030 #Hokies gifted $246,500 so far. Lets reach $250K before June 30! #HokieProud pic.twitter.com/Q9dHDsChVf— Hokie Club (@hokieclub) June 19, 2015
It seems as if the Hokie Club has done a good job collecting so far. I know in the past me and my friends have typically waited until winter time to give.
Of course there's more to giving then the rewards that come from it of course and all of it is highlighted in the 110% Hokie Club Campaign brochure.
With our 110% HOKIE campaign, we're asking every donor to increase his/her
annual contribution to the Hokie Club by 10 percent over last year's gift, or new
donors to give at a minimum of $110. Our student-athletes are giving 110 percent
in the classroom, on the field, on the court, on the course, in the pool, and on the
track, and the results are strong. Will you, as a Tech fan and/or alum, please join
them in giving 110 percent? We need you now more than ever.For those of you willing to participate in our 110% campaign before July 1, you
will be invited to an exclusive tour of our new indoor practice facility and participate
in a team walk-through on Oct. 2. Campaign gifts will be accepted until
Dec. 31.
Main purpose of the 110% campaign is to help cover the cost of attendance for athletes which I feel is something that is long overdue. It is an added bonus to be able to tour the best indoor football facility in the country.
You can donate by going here.

But what if my renew month is in August?
It will just change your month.
I don't think it matters much when your renew month is. I know the Hokie Club takes into account what you donated (and also points for activities like buying season tickets) for the entire year. The campaign information seems to state out specifically that if you give 110% of your contribution from last year by 7/1 then you get to tour the facility on 10/2.
Of course I'm not a Hokie Club official or anything so you might want to contact them. There is a number on the brochure to contact which is (540) 231-6618.
What if we're a first time donor?
In the brochure it says that if you are a new donor you need to give at least $110 to be counted as part of the campaign.
I already get the hard look from my wife when I make my golden hokie donation, I think an extra 10% might have me sleeping in the other bedroom.
"You're in the doghouse tonight."
"Well, I'll be the in the Beamer Barn in October!"
FTFY
Still worth it. You probably wouldn't even have to tell her.
Was hoping the Hokie club would be doing more to promote this on VT sites. Such a good promotion in my opinion. Feels like a rare opportunity for new donors to donate $110 to see a walk through and get a tour of the indoor facility.
A lot of changes to the Hokieclub will be coming in July.
This is accurate and exciting.
I don't know if there's a list somewhere else, but here are the players that have been selected to go up on the east wall
L to R: Cornell Brown, Corey Moore, Kam Chancellor, Deangelo Hall, Kyle Fuller, Frank Beamer, Silhouette-faced Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Eddie Royal, Duane Brown, Kevin Jones, Jake Grove, Michael Vick...
other side should be Bud shooting lasers out of his eyes, with Sam Rogers and Bruce Smith flanking him. Just sayin'.
Should also have a picture of just Bucky's legs up there too...he will eventually outgrow the building.
Someone make this a thing...
Would be awesome!
Bud breathes fire, the coach that shoots lasers out of his eyes is with another team now.
KJ's went up this morning (from his Instagram).
And for all of us poor recent grads we should get a free tour: $0 x 110% = $0.
(Yes I know first time donors pay $110)
I feel ya. Still, at least you can get 2 years for the price of one since you're a recent grad.
You don't need to donate 110 as a recent grad, see their recent grad program.
