Over 25,000 donors. Back in December of 2016, the Drive for 25 sounded like an unreachable goal. With close to 9,800 donors at the time, the idea of gaining more than 15,000 donors seemed a little unrealistic. Not that the university didn’t need the infusion of them. In fact, to keep up with the Clemson’s, Miami’s, and UNC’s out there 25,000 donors are exactly what the sports department at Virginia Tech needed.
If we just look at the football team back in 2016, it seemed to be the right time to go for something as ambitious as gaining more than 15,000 donors.
