Membership Matters: Your Role in the Future of WVU Athletics Starts on Day of Giving

College athletics is changing and now more than ever, Membership Matters. As WVU Athletics navigates a new era of revenue sharing, NIL opportunities, and enhanced resources, the collective support of Mountaineer Nation plays a critical role in shaping the future of our programs.

Being a member means more than showing support — it means investing directly in the student-athlete experience. Your membership fuels scholarships, nutrition, training, academic support, and the resources our student-athletes need to compete at the highest level and succeed beyond the field of play.

On this Day of Giving, every gift at every level adds strength to our membership and helps unlock challenges, multiplying your impact. Together, our members provide the foundation needed to attract, develop, and retain top talent in today’s competitive college athletics landscape.

This is more than a one-day gift. It’s a statement that Membership Matters. Your commitment empowers WVU Athletics to compete, win, and build a championship culture across all sports.

Join fellow Mountaineers on Day of Giving and make a direct impact on the lives of our student athletes. Your support provides the resources they need to train, compete, earn their degrees, and represent West Virginia with pride. When you give, you’re investing in their success in the classroom, in competition, and long after their playing days are over  because their future is stronger when your membership leads the way.

Be a member. Be invested. Be part of the future. Give today.
