Join the Eagle Club today by making a gift of $50 or more. You may designate your gift to a specific team, or to Friends of Athletics which supports every program. These are just a few department-wide initiatives that will be bolstered by your gift to Friends of Athletics on Mary Wash Giving Day:

  • Spring Jubilee (Celebration of NCAA DIII Week): April 7, 2018

  • Athletics Gala & Auction: May 17, 2018

  • Eagle Club Golf Tournament: June 15, 2018

  • Leadership Academy: August 2018

  • Eagle Nation Day: September 2018

  • Homecoming at the Battleground: October 2018

  • Hall of Fame Day: February 2019

Pay it forward. Today, on #MaryWashDay help us make an impact. We need all of Eagle Nation (athletic alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends) to inspire more Eagle Pride and share via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, texts and emails. When you share about #MaryWashDay you multiply our reach and pay it forward for current and future Eagles for years to come.

Your gift matters. From the very first visit during the recruiting process to graduation day on Ball Circle, your gifts are inspiring greatness. While playing the sports they love, more than 600 young men and women will have greater experiences and benefit from stronger support systems at Mary Washington because of your contributions.
