📣 A Message from the President
Mountaineer Pride Is Stronger When We Show Up
Hello, Mountaineer Family! One of the best things about our chapter is getting to cheer on the Mountaineers together. This season, we've held a game watch for every WVU game, and we have more ahead. Thank you to everyone who has joined us, helped organize a gathering, or welcomed a fellow Mountaineer. Every person who shows up helps keep our chapter spirit strong.
Help Us Build Our 2026–27 Membership
We've sent two reminders about 2026–27 membership dues, but renewals are still coming in more slowly than we'd hoped. If you've been meaning to renew, please take a moment to do it now. Annual dues are $25 per member and $15 per additional family member. Your support helps sustain our chapter activities, community programs, and scholarship efforts for future Mountaineers.
Our Chapter Is More Than Game Day
We want to keep building a welcoming community for WVU alumni, families, and friends across Central Virginia. You can help by coming to a game watch, bringing a friend, volunteering at an event, supporting our scholarships, or lending a hand with chapter leadership. You don't have to take on a big role to make a difference.
We also believe in being open about how our chapter is doing. Visit our Financial Transparency page for the chapter's financial information.

History of Community Involvement
For over two decades, the CVCWVUAA has embodied the Mountaineer spirit of service, making a lasting impact in Central Virginia through fundraising, community programs, and compassionate outreach.
2001-2010: Foundation Years
Wojcik Family Van Project (2001): During a pep rally before the NIT basketball game against Richmond, our chapter spearheaded fundraising for a handicap-accessible van for the Wojcik family. When Robert Wojcik, son of WVU alumni Robert & Betsy, was injured before starting at WVU, we raised $40,000 to purchase the van.
Central Virginia Foodbank Drives: Collected over 1,000 lbs of food during football and basketball watch parties at Quaker Steak & Lube, providing meals for more than 1,000 families in Central Virginia.
Salvation Army "Holiday Cheer & Gear": Partnered with ESPN 950AM's Greg Burton and Home Team Grill, raising over $3,000 through live auctions of WVU memorabilia since 2007.
2010-2020: Expanding Impact
WVU Children's Hospital Book Drive: Partnered with WVU Alumni office to collect over 300 children's books during Big East and NCAA tournaments, bringing comfort to young patients at WVU Medicine Children's Hospital.
Scholarship Fund Growth: Established and grew our scholarship program, supporting Central Virginia students pursuing their Mountaineer dreams at WVU.
2020-Present: Modern Mountaineer Service
Bears & Blankets Program: Our signature initiative provides comfort items to children at WVU Medicine Children's Hospital. Members donate new stuffed bears and blankets, bringing smiles to young patients during difficult times.
Digital Community Support: Adapted our outreach during challenging times, organizing virtual fundraisers and maintaining connections with alumni families throughout Central Virginia.
Parents Club Partnership: Supporting WVU families in our region with resources, events, and community connections for current and prospective Mountaineer families.
Our Continuing Mission
The CVCWVUAA believes that being a Mountaineer means more than cheering for our teams—it means caring for our community. From helping families in crisis to supporting the next generation of students, we carry forward the WVU spirit of service that makes us proud to be Mountaineers.
