If you're wondering what kind of growth this means, I direct you back to the February announcement when we surpassed 25,000 members

The Hokie Club was comprised of roughly 9,800 donors at the Drive for 25's beginning in 2016, and Virginia Tech sat near the bottom third of the ACC in annual giving. Since then, Hokie Nation has helped raise annual scholarship funding at Virginia Tech from an average of $9.2 million a year to $15.2 million.

Virginia Tech also now ranks in the top three of total annual donors at the close of the Drive for 25 campaign, with a number that should increase substantially by the end of the March 31st deadline.

Massive credit needs to be given to Whit Babcock for making this happen. When the Drive for 25 campaign was announced in 2016, many thought it was too ambitious of a goal and would be impossible to attain. Not only was that goal accomplished, but we've blown past it.
