Our Crowdfunding Groups
For close to 14 years, University Libraries, university and community volunteers, alumni, and Hokie parents have cranked up the grills to provide free grilled cheese sandwiches to studying students during finals week. Each semester, volunteers serve close to 6,000 sandwiches, hundreds of pounds of fruit, thousands of snacks, and encouraging words and hugs to stressed-out Hokies while they prepare for finals and finish up projects.
Students' eyes light up when they line up on the Newman Library Plaza and see the dozens of volunteers each night from across campus and beyond serve up a warm and gooey grilled cheese just for them. You can be a part of this Virginia Tech tradition by giving today. All food supplies including cheese, margarine, bread, fruit, snacks, and drinks are purchased with gifts from caring Hokies like you.
Cheesy Nights is an important service to students when meal plan dollars are running low and their next meal isn't top of mind while cramming for exams. Help keep students fueled for success by giving today!
Thank you for your support!
