Because of you, Virginia Western continues to shine as one of our region’s true Unhidden Gems. Thank you for helping that legacy grow each and every day.
We hope you will consider joining your colleagues in building on the legacy of Virginia Western in a very special way. When you support scholarships or program funds through the 2025-2026 Unhidden Gems Employee Giving Campaign, you’re helping students go beyond the classroom, fueling their dreams, lighting the path to brighter futures.

So far, the lineup includes tickets to the Rail Yard Dawgs and to Roanoke Symphony Orchestra, a Buff City Soap gift box, and dinner at The Hotel Roanoke, with even more surprises to come.
Make a gift of $10 or more and you’ll be entered into a weekly prize drawing AND the final grand prize drawing. Give today and get in on the excitement!
