Spirit Team

Our Campaign

The JMU Spirit Teams — including Cheerleading and the Duke Dog Mascot Program — need your support to continue striving for excellence. Your generosity provides essential resources that help our student-athletes achieve their goals, compete at the national level, and enhance their training, performance, and overall experience.

Support for our program also fosters pride, motivation, and team spirit, ensuring that JMU fans and the Harrisonburg community enjoy the energy, excitement, and championship-level dedication that our Spirit Teams bring to every game and event.

About Funds Raised During Diggin'Dukes

One hundred percent (100%) of funds raised in support of the JMU Spirit Teams during the Diggin’Dukes campaign immediately go to the JMU Spirit Teams Sport Program Fund (restricted-use fund) and benefit the JMU Spirit Team student-athlete experience.

Sport program funds are restricted-use funds that can only be utilized by the individual sport program. 100% of gifts made to sport program funds go to the selected sport program and are 100% tax deductible.

Funds will go to support team operational needs and are allocated at the discretion of our coaches and administration.
