#MARYWASHDAY HAS ENDED BUT YOUR SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY. YOU CAN STILL MAKE A GIFT.
Mary Wash Giving Day 2022
#TogetherUMW

When the Mary Washington community pulls together, great things happen. On this year's #MaryWashDay, Tuesday, April 5, 2022, we are asking everyone to join #TogetherUMW in giving back. 

Your gift on Giving Day, regardless of size, will help unlock additional funds to make an even greater impact on students’ success. Your support will strengthen the UMW experience, shaping the world’s next generation of leaders, creators, and problem-solvers.  

For over a century, the Mary Washington community of alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends has been paying it forward. We can’t wait to see what happens when all members join #TogetherUMW on April 5!

Late Night 80s Pub Challenge
Thank you Marcia and our 80s donors! Many graduates from the 1980s have fond memories of gatherings in the Mary Washington “Pub”, which is now called the Underground of Lee Hall.

In honor of those fun times (and dollars spent in the Pub), Marcia Guida ’83 is challenging alumni of the 80s. If we receive $1,500 in gifts to the Fund for Mary Washongton from alumni of 1980-1989 between 8pm and 10pm, Marcia will make a gift of $1,500 to support student scholarships.
