Last week, my mailman was working overtime and brought us a bunch of “Poppin’ It” checks. Counting our generous matches, we are now sitting at a total of over $94,500 for the year AND I have notes from several of you that the “check is in the mail.” I’m looking forward to getting those checks this week and am hoping we can surpass the $100,000 mark, which would be simply AMAZING!!! A sincere THANK YOU to all of you that have contributed! And….it’s not too late if you want to jump in and help us get to that century mark!!!! Let's Go, Hokies!!!!
