64 JMU Rugby alumni made a gift, and by passing the 50-donor mark you unlocked an additional $25,000 in matching funds toward the Hank Mozingo Captain's Scholarship. The fund now stands at $59,713 raised toward a $100,000 endowment goal, 60% of the way to permanently endowing the scholarship.
The funds raised so far are already enough to award a scholarship for the 2026-2027 school year. Reaching $100,000 endows it for good, funding an award every year, forever.
The next match is within reach. Hit 100 donors and the John Carr Memorial Rugby Fund adds another $10,000. We are at 64 individual donors, so just 36 more gifts of any size unlocks it.
Every gift moves the number. Whether it is $25 or $2,500, every contribution closes the gap.
JMU Giving Day is in full swing, and here's how the rugby program is doing.

Today is JMU Giving Day, and if rugby has been part of your life at James Madison, this is your moment.
JMU Giving Day is a university-wide event, but every gift you make today can go directly to the rugby program. These are student-athletes who show up every day because they love the game and love representing JMU. Give at any level and know that your contribution stays right here, with this team.
The Hank Mozingo Challenge
When 50 donors give to rugby today, Hank's family will contribute an additional $25,000 toward the Hank Mozingo Captain's Scholarship Endowment. There's already $25,000 raised. Fifty donors could bring it to $50,000.
