If you make a gift of $19.08 or more to the Fund for Mary Washington you can name a campus squirrel and receive a digital naming certificate. Please note that we will review each squirrel name and reserve the right to reject any name that we feel is inappropriate to our beloved acorn-loving friends. If a name is rejected, your gift will not be refunded, so choose wisely, squirrel squad!
