## Resource

Virginia Tech football players and staff rolled up their sleeves to build 40 twin beds for kids in need, partnering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace as part of their Hokies For Community Initiative. The team contributed $5,000 of their own money, matched dollar-for-dollar by The Hokie Way, showcasing their deep commitment to giving back. Quarterback Bryce Baker called it a core team value, while Matthew Sams revealed the initiative also supports veterans and animals. All this action happens just before their season opener against VMI — proving their impact goes far beyond the gridiron.
