Thank you for your gift to the Student Emergency Fund! In the last four days, you and over 1,400 of your fellow Hokies have come together to raise more than $45,000 to support our students. 

We’re aiming to get another 600 supporters on board by the end of the day on Sunday, and we need your help to make it happen.

People are most likely to make a gift when asked by a peer or friend. Help us spread the word about the campaign and encourage one or more Hokies to follow your lead and make a gift themselves before midnight EDT on October 18. 

Below, you’ll find a sample post that can be shared through social media.

Thanks again for your dedication to Virginia Tech. You’ve made a huge difference for students in need. 

Social post example: I’m excited to share this great opportunity to help out students in need and get an authentic piece of Virginia Tech! Make a gift of $15 or more to the Student Emergency Fund and the university will send you a piece of genuine Hokie Stone. I just gave, will you chip in too? https://give.vt.edu/hokie-stone
