Student-Athlete Led Thank-athon Punctuates End of Academic Year

The academic year is over and GW's student-athletes rallied together before it ended to say thank you to more than 1,500 donors who supported their programs throughout the year. From April 18 to April 25, GW Athletics hosted a 'thank-athon', with student-athletes from GW's 20 varsity sports volunteering their time to call donors to share their appreciation for the impact donor gifts made on their experience.

"Having our student-athletes directly thank our donors is special for everyone," said Jennifer Montgomery, Executive Director of Development. "They are excited to make the calls and take the opportunity to thank the people who help provide opportunities for them to compete for the Buff and Blue, and our donors love hearing from the student-athletes they support."

Donors to the Buff and Blue Fund support GW student-athletes by providing the opportunity for student-athletes to be leaders in their sports and compete with determination, commitment, and respect. Gifts fund student-athlete scholarships, capital projects, and the enhancement of sport specific operating budgets.

Athletics' donors who did not receive a call during Thank-athon Week should call 202-994-8412 or email buffblue@gwu.edu to confirm their contact information, or update their contact information directly using GW's alumni form.
