JMU Athletics and the Duke Club are proud to announce the launch of Diggin'Dukes — the first-ever JMU Athletics exclusive online giving campaign.

Save the date for November 28, 2023 to show your love for your favorite JMU sport programs during Diggin'Dukes 2023. This limited-time giving campaign is a special opportunity for the JMU Athletics community to come together to support JMU student-athletes with gifts to individual sport program funds.

Over 900 fans and friends joined the Duke Club to take the field at Bridgeforth Stadium on Friday, September 29 to celebrate the 8th Annual Friday Night Flights beer and wine festival, presented by W.M. Jordan Company. Hosted by the Duke Club, this special night under the lights raised a record $33,000 — over $20,000 more than previous events — with all event proceeds going to directly benefit the JMU student-athlete experience and the athletics general operating budget.  

Calling all JMU student-athlete alumni! Save the date for Letterwinner Weekend 2023 – November 17-18 – to connect with your teammates and relive your athletics glory days! The weekend will feature a $40.00 ticket package inclusive of a DC Social, Letterwinner reception, men's basketball game, and football game (note: women's basketball game information coming soon!). Tickets for Letterwinner weekend will go on sale next week!

All fans are invited to attend home and away DC Socials, planned for all regular-season games. Home DC Socials are hosted at Hotel Madison from 5:00-7:00 p.m. the Friday before each home game. Away DC Socials are special events hosted at venues near each away game location – select events require advance ticket purchase.
