The Eighth Annual Commonwealth Kiddush Cup:
November 16th - December 16th 2020
The Commonwealth Kiddush Cup (CWKC), our annual fundraiser event held since 2013, is back and we are ready for another win! Each year VT and UVA alumni raise funds for their Hillel.
What is the Commonwealth Kiddish Cup?
How is this year different?
We are still raising funds and competing with UVA yet we want to pause for a moment and recognize that this year is different with the pandemic. Satelitte events should only be taking place if you and other alumni are part of the same pod. Our students are overwhelmed by isolation, lack of a true collegiate experience and are facing anixiety and stress. With that in mind part of the funds raised through this will go directly wellness programming. Your contributions will provide the opportunity to shift our priorities towards making our student lounge into a Wellness Center while the world fights this pandemic.
