The University serves Virginia, the nation, and the world by preparing responsible citizen-leaders; advancing, preserving, and disseminating knowledge; and providing world-class patient care.
All gifts of any kind help secure the University’s place as a premier institution of learning and make it possible for our students, faculty, and researchers to shape a brighter future.
You can give to all 12 schools across Grounds. The possibilities are endless for supporting our students, faculty, and programs. Together, we will find the way forward.
You can join the growing number of alumni and friends who invest now in the University’s future by including UVA as a beneficiary of their wills, charitable trusts, and retirement plans. Gifts like these can offer you and your family significant tax benefits as well as greater financial flexibility in meeting your personal and philanthropic goals.
The Honor the Future campaign, the largest in University history, concluded in 2025, thanks to thousands of loyal supporters. Its impact on students, faculty, facilities, and research reaches across Charlottesville, Wise County, and Northern Virginia as it continues to advance the school in its third century of service to the commonwealth, nation, and world.
Virginia Athletics and the Virginia Athletics Foundation announced on January 29, 2026, that Pat and Sharon Hogan have made a combined $1 million commitment to UVA’s baseball, softball, and women’s golf programs.
Pat Hogan spent the better part of a decade serving as the University of Virginia’s executive vice president and chief operating officer before retiring in 2019. Prior to his arrival on Grounds, Hogan was with the global professional services firm Ernest & Young for more than 35 years.
The Hogans have a daughter and a son-in-law who are both UVA graduates and believe deeply in the powerful impact of a degree from the University of Virginia.
Of the $1 million commitment, half will go to support the baseball program’s current scholarships. The rest will be committed to supporting endowed scholarships for the softball and women’s golf programs. With matching funds from VAF, the endowed commitments will cover a partial scholarship for softball and women’s golf.
The commitment will also create the Pat and Sharon Hogan Endowed Scholarship for Softball, along with the Pat and Sharon Hogan Endowed Scholarship for Women’s Golf. The Hogans hope that these gifts will help to inspire others and contribute to the success of student-athletes at Virginia.
“We are fortunate to be able to provide scholarship support for our outstanding student-athletes in baseball, softball and women’s golf,” said Pat and Sharon Hogan. “These programs are led by amazing coaches who represent all that we admire and love about UVA athletics. They instill values that serve our student-athletes today and provide a strong foundation for their futures.”
“Pat and Sharon’s gift underscores the extraordinary impact that intentional generosity can have on the future of Virginia Athletics,” said Kevin Miller, Executive Director of the Virginia Athletics Foundation and Deputy Athletics Director. “We are deeply appreciative of the confidence it represents and inspired by Pat and Sharon’s commitment behind it. Because of this support, we are expanding opportunity, strengthening our programs and positioning our student-athletes to thrive today and for generations to come.”
