The Commonwealth Kiddush Cup (CWKC), our annual fundraiser event held since 2013, is back and we are ready for another win! Each year VT alumni compete against UVA alumni to raise the most funds for their Hillel.
The fundraiser lasts for ~2 weeks and gains competitive spirit each passing day. It provides an opportunity for alumni to support the programs they loved at their Hillel while taking pride in BEATING the opposing team and rekindling Hillel relationships. The losing team's Executive Director must prance around in the winning team's school swag - Ah!
