Mary Wash Day
THANK YOU for coming #TogetherUMW
Wow—what an incredible 24 hours! Because of you, our UMW community near and far, #MaryWashDay was a TREMENDOUS success, shattering all previous records! Your generosity and spirit made a lasting impact, and we are beyond grateful.
 
 Whether you gave, spread the word, or cheered us on, YOU made a difference for UMW students and programs. We can’t wait to share your collective impact in the months ahead.  
Didn’t have a chance to give during #MaryWashDay and still want to make an impact? Make your gift here.
BIG NEWS! Mary Washington alumni and friends, we’re making our last push, and we have a huge opportunity.
