JMU Nation,
By now many of you have heard the exciting news that ESPN's College GameDay is coming back to campus, and it is no secret that your enthusiasm for JMU Athletics played a part in luring them back to Harrisonburg! But the return of GameDay isn't the only big announcement for today, it's also the kickoff of Duke Club week. This is a week focused on thanking our great donor base and encouraging others to join in our efforts. The Duke Club annual fund is the lifeblood of our athletic program, and with your support, there's no limit to what we can accomplish.
We stand amid a period of unprecedented success in the history of JMU Athletics. With that said, there has never been a better time to pledge your support for our student-athletes. A Duke Club membership starts at just $50 and can be given in monthly installments over the course of the year.
The support we displayed in Frisco this past January was tremendous. Help us duplicate those efforts by joining or recruiting others to join the Duke Club today. Every donor makes a difference and every dollar helps us to provide our student-athletes the best collegiate experience in the country.
At JMU, we are engaged in excellence in everything that we do. Our alumni and fans are beyond passionate. To continue to achieve our great success, we must continue to break records in private support to JMU Athletics. If you are interested in learning more about the Duke Club or would like to become a member, please contact the Duke Club at 540-568-6461 or visit

On behalf of our entire athletics department and student-athletes, we thank you for your generous support! Without you, our many wins on and off the playing fields are not possible. We look forward to seeing you on campus soon.
GO DUKES!!
Jeff Bourne
Director of Athletics
