As Duke Club members, our donors are making a BIG impact on the JMU student-athlete experience. Gifts to the Duke Club go to benefit the Proud & True Fund and support all of JMU's 18 varsity sports, cheerleading, and the athletics operating budget.
As a great THANK YOU for all our Proud & True donors do to support our JMU student-athletes, we want to feature them in the Duke Club Donor Spotlight, a new initiative to celebrate our donors.
The Duke Club invites members to provide a glance into the JMU donor and fan experience — through the lens of a Duke Club member — as we spotlight JMU Athletics donors who are making an impact on Dukes' student-athletes.
- From tailgating, game day traditions and fan fun...
- To favorite sport teams and favorite JMU sports history moments...
- To reflections on why you donate to the Proud & True Fund and why/how you encourage fellow JMU fans to give too!
