Bourne Dialogue - Giving Day 2018

JMU Nation,
Â
Giving Day 2018 is upon us and I hope you'll join me in making a gift to support JMU Athletics and the JMU Duke Club tomorrow, March 13. Whether it's Giving Day, College GameDay, traveling to Harrisonburg or Frisco for games or our student-athletes competing for championships, Dukes really do show up for days like these!
Â
JMU Athletics has partnered with various university groups to make the third annual JMU Giving Day the most successful one to date. After raising $234,000 from 900 gifts in 2017, the Duke Club has increased its 2018 goals for 1,000 total gifts and $250,000 raised.
Â
We continue to ride a tremendous wave of success in JMU Athletics. The Dukes have won four CAA Championships already in 2017-18 (cross country, football, volleyball, swimming & diving) and won regular-season titles in men's soccer and women's basketball. JMU was also picked to win titles in lacrosse and softball while other sports are off to a great start with a combined spring record of 58-14. We've had the best winning percentage among all universities in Virginia the last two years (.633 for 2016-17, .660 for 2015-16) and currently sit at .678 for 2017-18. Add in a second straight trip to Frisco and a memorable second visit to the quad by ESPN and it's a great time to be a Duke!
Â
I can't think of a better way to express our love for this university and the student-athletes who represent it than by supporting a day like Giving Day. Your gift goes directly to our Duke Club annual fund and supports everything we do to foster a positive student-athlete experience at James Madison. When you hear about their achievements, take pride in knowing that they represent the university you love and that you made it possible.
Â
We've said before that every gift, no matter the size, truly makes a difference and no day fits that better than Giving Day. We all make a difference and together #WeAreOne JMU Nation! #ProudAndTrue
Â
Go Dukes,
Â
Jeff Bourne
JMU Director of Athletics

Â
P.S. - After Giving Day, stay involved with other Duke Club events this spring. The JMU football spring game will be held on April 14 at 1 p.m. with a donor meeting about football parking changes at 10:30 a.m. The annual Duke Club Golf Classic will take place on April 20. That will be followed quickly by our 2018 JMU spring tour dates. I look forward to seeing you at these events!
