The Duke Club is the fundraising arm for James Madison University Athletics. Through our Annual Fund, we raise contributions to support our over 450 student-athletes and the athletic budget. We also aide JMU Athletics in facility enhancements and other needs through capital campaigns. Through this financial support, we are the key avenue for supporters to be an active part of JMU Athletics' Mission: To guide and support the James Madison University student-athletes in their quest for excellence - academically, athletically, and socially. Above all else, we exist to prepare our student-athletes for productive and meaningful lives.
