CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Virginia Athletics and the Virginia Athletics Foundation (VAF) have received a pledge from an anonymous donor that will match every dollar donated to the Football Enhancement Fund, up to $3 million. The donations will be matched from December 19, 2024 through August 30, 2025. According to a release from the Director of Athletic Communications for Football, the funds will focus on nutrition in the Molly and Robert Hardie Football Operations Center and also travel and recruiting efforts.

“I am extremely grateful for this level of commitment from our donors and their investment in the well-being of our scholar-athletes,” Head Football Coach Tony Elliott said. “I am thrilled for Virginia football to benefit from enhanced nutritional resources that fuel performance and recovery as we build the model program for long-term success on and off the field.”

This marks the second multi-million-dollar commitment to Virginia Football in the past two weeks.
