One gift. Any size. Every year.

Tiki and Ronde Barber have issued a challenge to all U.Va. alumni to increase our support of the University. They're asking you for one gift, any size, every year. If you are among the 75 percent of U.Va. alumni who currently do not make gifts to U.Va., or if you aren't in the habit of making gifts every year, then we challenge you to start. Today.
