What: A fundraising campaign to help with Travel Arrangements to Pensacola, FL to play West Florida University on October 25th, 2025 @ 2pm CST.
When: March 18th , 2025 (WVSU Day of Giving)
Needs: $100,000 to pay for a Flight to Pensacola, FL and back to Institute, WV as well as lodging and food while down there.
How: Getting small and large donations from our passionate supporters and the people who want to help us in our mission of creating a championship program by developing champions in life.
Why: To create an incredible experience for our student-athletes and a trip they will remember for the rest of their lives.
Our Football Team is playing @ West Florida on October 25th, 2025 this season and we are looking for support to help provide comfortable travel arrangements for our student-athletes. WVSU Day of Giving is March 18th , 2025 and we are looking to raise funds to help us achieve our goal of creating comfortable travel for our student-athletes. The bus ride to Pensacola, Florida is about 15 hours by bus and 17 hours on the way back to Institute, WV because of the time change. We believe that kind of travel would be extremely difficult for our student-athletes physically and mentally. We want to ensure that they have the travel arrangements they need to play a football game and get back to campus safely and return to classes rested and ready to attack the next week.
We think it would be an incredible experience for our student-athletes to fly down to Pensacola, FL and take on one of the premier Division II teams in the country. This would be a once in lifetime opportunity for our student-athletes and we would love to fly down to the game and fly back to enhance the experience and take care of our student-athletes. Our student-athletes work extremely hard to represent WVSU and we appreciate any support that you could give to help us achieve our goal of creating a great experience for the WVSU Football program.
Sincerely,
Dr. John Pennington Ph.D.
Head Football Coach
