Virginia Athletics Foundation Announces Brick Campaign
Charlottesville, VA – The Virginia Athletics Foundation (VAF) announced Tuesday (Nov. 12) the launch of a commemorative brick campaign in support of Virginia Athletics.
The brick campaign will give Virginia fans and alumni the opportunity to cement their own legacy by purchasing a customized brick to be placed at John Paul Jones Arena. The bricks will be laid in the plaza outside the arena’s main entrance, giving donors the chance to decorate one of college basketball’s most iconic venues.
All proceeds will benefit the Hoos Success Fund, which helps provide broad-based, unrestricted support for more than 750 Virginia student-athletes. Hoos Success Fund (HSF) gifts count toward lifetime giving. HSF contributions are in addition to gifts to the VAF Annual Fund and do not count towards VAF Annual Giving levels or impact tickets and/or parking eligibility.
Virginia fans can choose between one of two purchase options:
- Standard Brick Package
- One 4”x 8” brick paver and one 4”x 8” brick replica
- Premium Brick Package
- One 4”x 8” brick paver and one 8”x 8” granite replica
Each brick will be engraved with a custom name and message. There is a character limit of 16 characters per line. All text will be center justified. Inscriptions are subject to approval by the Virginia Athletics Foundation. The installation will start in summer 2025, and replicas will be received 10-12 weeks after purchasing.
