One of the most immediate ways your Employee Giving gift can help a Virginia Western student is through the Student Emergency Fund<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An unexpected car repair. A medical bill. A utility payment. A sudden expense that simply cannot wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a student already balancing school, work, transportation, family responsibilities, and everyday living expenses, something relatively small can quickly become the reason they consider stepping away from college. The Student Emergency Fund allows Virginia Western to step in when a student is facing an urgent financial need and help keep that student moving toward their goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the good news is, it\u2019s easy to give!<\/strong> You can make a one-time gift or choose monthly contributions and spread your donation throughout the year. Even a small amount adds up when we participate together, and gifts of $10 or more<\/strong> qualify you for our weekly prize drawings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to last week\u2019s winners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shana Roche<\/strong> \u2013 Deb\u2019s Frozen Lemonade
Austin Pryor<\/strong> \u2013 Grandin Theatre tickets
Jamie Snead<\/strong> \u2013 Family pass to Mill Mountain Zoo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we have more great prizes coming next week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Arboretum gift certificate for the December poinsettia sale<\/strong>
Gift card to Deb\u2019s Frozen Lemonade<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been thinking about participating, now is a great time. Giving is simple, every amount matters, and your gift can provide real help to a Virginia Western student exactly when they need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mail your gift to the Virginia Western Educational Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a secure online gift through the Employee Giving webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drop off your gift at the Educational Foundation Office (Business Science, M327).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
