We like our Brew hot ‘n’ fresh, but we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

Friend of the Program Commits Multi-Million Dollar Gift to Virginia Football. This generous gift follows the investments in Virginia Football announced Dec. 5, 2024, Dec. 19, 2024 and again on Sept. 11, 2025. In just 10 months, philanthropic investment directed for competitive operational support of the program has more than doubled what had been secured across the previous eight seasons combined.
