Poppin' It just keeps on poppin'
A huge thanks to several of you that gave me checks for Poppin' It this weekend in Charlottesville. We are now at $43,437 and with the match up to $40k, that's actually $83,437 for the softball team AND.....there's yet another donor who has stepped up and will match the next $10,000 so we are actually at $86, 874. Please consider jumping in and helping us get to $100,000. Let's Go, Hokies!!!!

If it's ok, I'm waiting until the season is completely. Then a check ...
... will be forthcoming.

Would an NIL directly tied to VT softball and VT softball only, be a
possibity, and do you believe it could possibly bring in more cash than you and your generous donors currently do? Just thinking whilst standing in the trout stream.

I'm jealous (that you are in a troit stream and I'm not). However,
if you have time to read TSL softball message board while trout fishing, I'm guessing the action is S L O W. So that's my consolation. Catch a nice one or two for me.

I think we will make the $6,563 balance to get to $50k plus some.

With the holdouts, I'm betting VTAF-SOFTBALL gets > $10,000.

Agree, and I’m one of the “holdouts”….
Raising over $100k on the Poppin’ It plus the auction proceeds should be a nice number!

It was easier for me to mail week by week. "Holdout" a whimsical euphemism.
