I know there are a lot of fellow Baseball Alums on here. Coach McRae has done a wonderful job since coming onboard. Consider adding a slice of cash for the Baseball program in your donation today. Let's give him something to work with going forward. Thanks.

All In.

US News uses the percent of alums who donate as a metric when creating their college rankings, so donating could help boost us there.

This is an especially quiet thread this year, not sure what to make of that.

Anyway - I donated. My donations still aren’t huge, but I’ve been able to grow them by a good % each year lately which is nice.

Apathy is worse than hate. This goes beyond athletics. Im not sure what Rowe has been up to, but seems that WM has had a "slow news cycle" for awhile. Blame the pandemic or whatever you want, but what has she accomplished? Her evaluation period should long be over. What has she done to advance the mission and profile of WM? Rankings have been slipping. Medical school opportunity largely squandered. Athletics missteps. There wasnt much pubicity for this years OTOD as well. Miss Reveley.

She got rid of Huge and handled the covid situation well. She has some equity with me for those two accomplishments.

I heard she is very supportive of Tribe Athletics.

All that said, today’s opportunity was squandered, no other way to put it. I feel pushing a major day for fundraising was Mann’s responsibility.

Woohoo! Just gave!

I feel like athletics did a decent job of promoting one tribe one day. Very little effort from the university as a whole it seemed.

I suppose I am just a demanding peon. To me, those decisions were no-brainers. I expect more from the president if we are to improve. I want a true leader with a vision. The strategic plan for 2026 is the usual vague document without defined goals. Its not a 20 or 10 year plan. 2026 is 4 years away and they still cant have specific end points? https://www.wm.edu/about/administration/.../index.php

I disagree. Compared to previous years, this year seemed to be an afterthought. In recent years, there's been weeks of notifications and each sport pushing their specific line items, things like that. This year it felt like "hey, OTOD is coming, you should look into that".

Final numbers are in, 9,500 donors total and a record 3.8 million raised.

A step down in terms of the raw number of donors, but the final total wound up being more than respectable. I think there were a decent amount of in person events this year, which would partly explain why the numbers online looked a little lower, if people were making donations in person.

Amazing news. Obviously shows many people are pleased with the direction of Tribe Athletics

Yes Tribe Athletics had the most donors so won a 15k grant for that. It is unclear how much of the 3.8M raised by the College is for Athletics

From the Athletic Department:


William & Mary Athletics set a single-day record for giving on the university’s most recent One Tribe One Day on April 12, raising $571,862 during the 24 hours of the event.

“We are incredibly appreciative of the support our friends, fans and alumni provide,” said Director of Athletics Brian D. Mann. “As we continue to work towards the goals outlined in the All In campaign, the annual giving piece is an essential component. These are funds that meet our most pressing needs – and provide our student-athletes with the resources necessary to pursue the best versions of themselves.”

The 2022 OTOD marks the second-straight year that Athletics broke its own single-day of giving record. The previous standard was 2,376 donors provided $545,843 in support in 2021.

Included in this year’s total was over $64,000 of gifts that were directly impacting Women’s Athletics Scholarships, which moved the department within $85,000 of unlocking a $750,000 matching gift for the initiative. Athletics will look to raise the remainder of that number prior to the close of the academic calendar year (June 30, 2022).

This year’s record number was achieved through the gifts of 2,248 individuals. Included in the record total was a $15,000 stipend earned by attracting the most donors among W&M departments. It was one of four awards provided as part of the The Gerdelman School & Unit Challenge, sponsored by Sue Hanna Gerdelman '76, P ’07, P ’13 and the late John Gerdelman ’75, L.H.D. ’19, P ’07, P ’13.

“William & Mary’s Athletics Department is in many ways a second home to our family,” said Sue Gerdelman, the chair of the All In Campaign. “John and I met while he was playing football for W&M and our two children grew up attending Tribe Athletics events. We are thrilled to support its mission of providing our student-athletes with skill sets that will allow them to thrive in life after graduation.”

Overall, the university had more than 9,550 donors give over $3.8 million to more than 730 different areas across the campus.

In the last eight years of the day of giving, W&M Athletics has raised more than $2.3 million in critical funding for its student-athletes. Because of this steadfast generosity of alumni, parents, fans, and friends, the Tribe is able to provide the resources for student-athletes to pursue championships and develop as individuals who are prepared to live lives of impact.
