Your generosity and support has pushed us to the highest number of Hokie Club members since its founding in 1949, and we could not be more grateful. You have helped us to climb the ACC rankings, and we now sit just behind Clemson in membership numbers with almost 20,000 donors. In the last membership year, which concluded at the end of March, more than 3,400 new Hokies joined the Hokie Club. Additionally, over 4,400 Hokies who opted out in 2019-20 came back on-board. As we prepare for the future of Virginia Tech Athletics, your support will be more impactful than ever, and together, we can continue to grow as we Reach for Excellence.
