UVA and VT Run Across Virginia

For the past decade, we have had the privilege of partnering with a fraternity from UVA to participate in a unique tradition: receiving the game ball from our UVA partners by meeting them halfway between Charlottesville and Blacksburg, in Lynchburg, V.A, and then running the ball back to Lane Stadium, in Blacksburg. The running will take place on November 16th and the ball will be presented at kickoff for the game on November 30th.

This event holds great significance for us, as it is part of our philanthropic efforts in association with the Jimmy V Foundation. The Jimmy V Foundation has been instrumental in supporting cancer research and raising awareness about this important cause. By organizing this game ball run, we aim to not only contribute to the spirit of college football but also raise funds and awareness for the fight against cancer.
