THE CHALLENGERS

Unfortunately W&M and University of Richmond alumni missed the challenge this year due to homecoming conflicts (or at least that is their excuse 😉

Too much for the box!THE PRIZE – Bragging rights.

THE RESULT – Mason Alumni get to brag!

1st Place: George Mason – 1,091 LB
2nd Place: VCU – 602 LB
3rd Place: JMU – 327 LB

If you missed the challenge we hope you will make the event next year!  We are going to need all the help we can get to keep our bragging rights.  

Starting to get a bit chilly.

THANK YOU!

@MasonRVA would like to thank those who made it possible to win “Bragging Rights” (sorry if we miss anyone)…

Anna Goltz – the best Alumni Rep ever @MasonAlumni – for driving down from Mason and bringing the tent, the swag, and her husband.  Not sure how you left at 3:30 and got to RVA before 5:30 – probably don’t want to know.

Brian Jones @B_R_Jones – for bringing the donations from the friends of MasonRVA from up north.

Alumni Charity Challenge

Don’t forget to pickup some canned goods on the way home tonight to bring to the Alumni Charity Challenge tomorrow (Wed, Oct 23rd 5:30 – 8:30)  @ Hardywood Park for the Central Virginia Food Bank.

Deliver your canned goods to the tent with the MasonRVA banner and enter the MasonRVA raffle for a chance to win two tickets for an RVA Brewery Tour.  You will get one entry for each canned good you donate.  We will also draw one raffle ticket each half hour for a $5 Hardywood gift certificate.  Better still, we will have some Mason swag too (we may even have a few MasonRVA koozies left)

Come out show your support for George Mason, meet some new friends, and enjoy some great food and drink.

Bring your friends who graduated from other fine universities and encourage them to bring and donate canned goods and enter the raffle (and help Mason win the challenge)!  Everyone is welcome at the MasonRVA tent!

This is a great cause – there so is NO EXCUSE not to stop by!

Go Mason!

(BTW, Hardwood is coming to Northern Virginia soon!)
