I am one of those people @VTChip describes in his post:

"There is some mistrust regarding distribution of the dollars that are sent directly to the Hokie Club and whether they actually increase the dollars budgeted to the softball program. Some donors have bluntly told me that they will not give directly to the Hokie Club for that reason." I've likened the HC to United Way, which says you can give directly to one charity, but that is disingenuous. Giving via Chip gives me comfort that those donations are going to SB in addition to their budget. For the same reasons, my donations for wrestling go to SERTC. I give the minimum required premium donations to the HSF to ensure I get what I want, and nothing more. Additionally, my wife give a lot of items to Chip for his auctions. To us, Chip is a god send. My wife and I love what he and Bonnie do.

You are very kind, my friend.

So someone at VT has to get the money from Chip. VTAF? Or Pete?**
UTPr0sim • 01/27/25 01:58 PM ET
I take the money to Pete or Bill Olds…
VTChip • 01/27/25 02:03 PM ET
Have you asked Bill when the monies actually make it to softball?**
UTPr0sim • 01/27/25 02:04 PM ET
Chip takes it to Bill Old (Pete) who then takes it to the Hokie Club.**
RJHokie • 01/27/25 02:00 PM ET
Yeah, the distrust of the Hokie Club is funny. They get the money in the
UTPr0sim • 01/27/25 02:02 PM ET
I think the distrust is the overall process
VTChip • 01/27/25 02:16 PM ET
Chip gives Bill Old a spreadsheet of the amounts received.

RJHokie has a superpower - it's ACCOUNTING. RJ forgive me for being a bit

Here's some background information for you
VTChip • 01/27/25 01:22 PM ET
This is not new. The Hokie Club has been using the stat pledges
RJHokie • 01/27/25 01:10 PM ET
Thanks, RJ. I was responding while you were posting.
VTChip • 01/27/25 01:23 PM ET
It’s also on the VTSB FB page. Chip may be able to provide some guidance
HolidayInnHokie • 01/27/25 12:50 PM ET
As I posted above, the main thing is just to give.
