Virginia Tech announces $1.5 billion 'Boundless Impact' fundraising campaign
BLACKSBURG — Virginia Tech intends to raise $1.5 billion by 2027 as part of its “Boundless Impact” fundraising campaign, which kicked off Friday night.
Tech officials called it the most ambitious campaign in school history as it was announced to hundreds gathered in the Moss Arts Center, while thousands of students and others attended a free concert on the campus Drillfield headlined by rapper Anderson .Paak and rock band Fitz and the Tantrums.
The university plans to reach the goal by getting alumni and other interested people involved in the university, said Charlie Phlegar, Tech’s vice president for university advancement.
“You get a lot of Virginia Tech alums and you get them engaged in what you’re trying to do,” Phlegar said. “Hokies will get behind the direction of the university and they will participate.”
