Cavaliers For Life
Virginia Student-Athlete Alumni Giving
As a former student-athlete, you are a Cavalier for Life and a vital part of what makes Virginia Athletics strong. Your legacy continues to shape the programs you helped build. Congratulations to wrestling (31.9%) for leading all programs in participation in 2025! Rounding out the top five are volleyball (30%), men's basketball (28.4%), men's golf (28.2%), and men's lacrosse (27.5%).
2025 was another outstanding year for the Cavaliers. Highlights included a fifth consecutive NCAA Women's Swimming & Diving National Championship, a national runner-up finish by Men's Golf, ACC titles from men's golf and men's cross country, and a school-record 11-win football season capped by a victory in the 2025 Gator Bowl. Virginia currently ranks No. 3 in the national rankings in the Learfield Directors' Cup following the fall season. Our student-athletes also achieved a department-record 3.366 fall GPA, with all 27 teams above a 3.0 and 47 earning a perfect 4.0. We also celebrated the opening of the Harrison Family Olympic Sports Complex.
Cavaliers for Life connects former student-athletes to the continued success of Virginia Athletics. Your support helps provide scholarships, resources, and experiences that allow today's student-athletes to thrive. A gift of any amount, to any designation, counts toward your participation in Cavaliers for Life, and many choose to give back to the sport(s) that shaped their own UVA experience.
