Inside HOKIE SPORTS | Vol. 13 No. 5 | May 2021

HOKIE Nation , we thank you for your unwavering support during the 2020-21 drive year. In a year that was unlike any we have known, our team and athletics department was unable to provide many of the services and events that continually bring you to the Virginia Tech campus. However, you looked beyond the circumstances, understood the needs of the student-athletes, and continued to show why the spirit of Ut Prosim lives in Hokies everywhere. As of the March 31, 2021 giving deadline, we have reached a record number of Hokie Club members with 19,822. We continue taking strides toward reaching our Drive for 25 goal of 25,000 by adding more than 3,400 new members since April 1, 2020. Hokies around the world embraced our campaigns in 2020, whether it was participating in the Virtual 5k, making a gift to receive a fan cutout at Lane Stadium or Cassell Coliseum (or both!) , giving for the W, or making a Pledge Per Touchdown - you helped to move the needle in the right direction. Many more exciting opportunities to continue our Drive for 25 will be available in the upcoming year, including the revamped Hokie Rep program, which you can find more information on page 21. Once again, we thank you for your continued support of Virginia Tech Athletics, its student-athletes, coaches, and staff. We look forward to returning to some normalcy and can’t wait to welcome you back HOME very soon. From the Hokie Club … 2 Inside Hokie Sports
