Dear Fellow Ravens,<\/p>\n

Last year, with your generous support, we raised over $40,000 for the Alexander \u201cSandy\u201d Gilliam Raven Society Endowment.<\/strong> Thank you! As we wrap up the fall semester, we hope you will consider renewing your support for this fund.<\/p>\n

We already have a date for our annual Raven Banquet \u2013 save the date for April 16, 2026!<\/strong> Because most of our events are free for attendees and we significantly subsidize student tickets to the Raven Banquet, dues alone cannot cover these costs. Your gift today ensures we can host meaningful programs that bring together students, faculty, and alumni Ravens throughout the year.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, the Alexander \u201cSandy\u201d Gilliam Raven Society Endowment honors Sandy\u2019s longtime legacy as a Raven and ensures the sustaining influence of the Raven Society on the University of Virginia. This endowment will ensure the future of the Society while honoring the legacy of one of the University\u2019s most committed individuals.<\/p>\n

Your annual membership dues and any donations are 100% tax deductible. Gifts can be made online<\/a>, by phone, or by mail. To learn more about ways to give<\/a>, please visit our website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Your generosity keeps the Raven Society a formidable presence at the University of Virginia. Together, let\u2019s sustain our legacy for generations.<\/p>\n

Evermore,
\nNavya Annapareddy (Engr<\/abbr> class of <\/span>’21, Data<\/abbr> class of <\/span>’22)<\/strong>
\nRaven Society President<\/p>\n

Make your gift today!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
