2018 Outstanding Non-Profit in Fundraising Award

It was an honor to accept the Outstanding Non-Profit in Fundraising Award last month from Laurie Harrison, President of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Hampton Roads chapter. Virginia Wesleyan was recognized for its strong record of philanthropic support that has led to new campus construction, two national-niche programs (the Batten Honors College and the Greer Environmental Sciences Center), upgrades of athletic facilities, and enhanced information technology--all constituting an astonishing transformation at our campus in just three years.

Although the Outstanding Non-Profit in Fundraising Award is a wonderful honor for Virginia Wesleyan, we owe tremendous gratitude to those who make our success possible. Leadership support of VWU enriches our mission of teaching, scholarship and service. We appreciate those who joined us at the VWU table to celebrate at last month's luncheon: Trustee Mary Haddad, Annie Miller, VWU Senior Vice President Dr. Mort Gamble, Trustee Susan Goode, Trustee John Malbon and Trustee Emerita Jane Batten. Other trustees at the event included Joan Brock, Louis Ryan, Vince Mastracco, and Sharon Goodwyn. We're proud and grateful this honor was featured in Inside Business
