WOW this is what happens when a community comes together with purpose!

During the Virginia Tech vs. Wake Forest Men’s Basketball game on Saturday, Bud Foster and the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation proudly presented a $150,000 donation check to support organizations helping those in need across the New River Valley.

This funding will support the Community Health Center of the New River Valley's new Christiansburg facility, expand pediatric cancer care through LifeRing Foundation at Carilion Children’s Hospital, provide support for Hokie students through Virginia Tech Advantage, and fund scholarships through ACCE.

Special thanks to former Virginia Tech Police Lieutenant and Patrol Commander George Jackson whose dedication will help award additional scholarships this year. We are also grateful to Bojangles for their continued partnership and support.

Thank you to everyone who donated and supported our events. Your generosity is making a lasting difference.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Sunday for our 2nd annual meet and greet with Virginia Tech legend Bud Foster at Brick House Pizza Radford to support the Lunch Pail Defense Foundation and specifically the ACCE program that provides scholarships to local students to attend New River Community College or trade schools.

We are so passionate about this program and have been supporting it for years. This year we raised over $40,000 in scholarship funds for ACCE.

This wouldn’t be possible without the support of our sponsors and a special shoutout to our title sponsor, Patrick K. Moore, P.C. Your generosity is what makes an event like this successful.

We look forward to another great event next year!
