Boone County WVU Alumni and Friends Hosts the

24th Annual Pig Roast and Golf Outing

      The Boone County Chapter of the WVU Alumni and Friends hosted its 24th Annual Golf Outing and Pig Roast on Saturday, July 17, 2011 at the Riverview Country Club in Madison.  This year's event welcomed WVU Alumni Association Director Steve Douglas, Mountaineer Mascot, Brock Burwell.  At an event the evening before the Pig Roast, the chapter welcomed Director for WVU Athletics Oliver Luck, as well as Jack Rossi, vice-president of the WVU Alumni Association Board of Directors.

      Each year the event continues to grow, and this year was no exception as more than 300 students, alumni, WVU guests and Friends of WVU gathered to show their Blue and Gold pride and support of the Boone County WVU students.

      The Golf Outing and Pig Roast is the chapter's largest fund raising event. Money collected from the event is earmarked for scholarships. Any Boone County student who applies for a scholarship is eligible to receive financial help to attend schools under the WVU umbrella. The chapter also provides gift certificates to Boone County students attending WVU & WVU Tech.
