20% off facilities rental fees & free football parking for life members

We are pleased to announce a new member benefit—football parking at Alumni Hall. Beginning in the 2006 season, the parking lots at Alumni Hall, just a 10-minute walk to Scott Stadium, will be available on game days exclusively to U.Va. Alumni Association LIFE members. Members MUST show their life membership cards to lot attendants to gain free access at the Sprigg Lane entrances (street adjacent to ALumni Hall—on the north side). Make sure to arrive early though—spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis only. Lots will open at 9 a.m. on Saturdays; 4 p.m. on October 28th.
We are fortunate that most benefits are made equally available to all of our members, however, just as VAF rewards levels of donations with preferred seating, so must we prioritize access to this limited resource. If you’ve lost your card, you may request a free replacement by e-mailing mlm4h@virginia.edu. If you would like to become a life member, please enroll on-line. To upgrade your annual membership to life member status, contact our Records department at 434-243-9000.
