Event Description

Attendees will enjoy the presentation and have a chance for fellowship and conversation in small groups (via Zoom) with other VIA alumni and their friends and families.

A few days before the event, we will send the Zoom link for the event to everyone who has RSVP’d. We don’t send the Zoom link any earlier to protect the security of the event.

The banquet is free, however, optional tax deductible contributions can be made to Teaching for Change on behalf of the VIAHA to cover the expenses of planning and hosting the banquet. If funds remain after those expenses, they will be used by Teaching for Change on behalf of the VIAHA to sustain and expand the VIA Story website.

Donor Levels (Optional)

  • Rookie $25
  • Assistant Trainer $50
  • Assistant Coach $100
  • Coach $200
  • Athletic Director $500

Donors at the Coach and Athletic Director level will receive a complimentary ticket to next year’s banquet and a seat at the chairperson’s table. All donors will be named in next year’s program with donation levels unless you choose to be anonymous.
Share Materials for a Slide Show

For a slide show at the event and for the VIA Story website, we welcome primary documents and/or stories you would like to share.
The Story of the VIA website is a collaborative project of Virginia State University, the VIA Heritage Association (VIAHA), Teaching for Change and other institutions.
