Summary
Virginia Tech football players rolled up their sleeves—and their wallets—to build 40 custom beds for kids in need, partnering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace as part of their Day of Service. Guided by their motto “Ut Prosim,” the team donated $5,000 collectively, matched dollar-for-dollar by The Hokie Way, turning a simple act of service into a $10,000 impact. Players shared personal motivations, drawing from their own experiences to inspire children facing adversity. This effort supports a nonprofit that’s already delivered over 1,700 beds since 2020, proving how student athletes can transform their platform into powerful community change.
