A team of 24 Middle School and Upper School cadets completed their final night of calling on Tuesday, March 9th. The team was successful in raising over $118,270 in gifts and pledges for Fork Union Military Academy - a first in the history of the Phonathon.
The Development Team has been raising money through the Phonathon for over 15 years and each year the goal continues to increase. Last year the team was successful in collecting close to 80% of the monies which were pledged and they hope that this year will yield even better results.

Today in chapel, we looked at the message found in Zephaniah 3:5 - "...every new day [God] does not fail..." The cadets were reminded that even though people in our lives can sometimes let us down, God is always there for us. The illustration used was our daily sunrises as a visible gift from God that each new day brings hope.
The Phonathon team will hold another evening of phone calls on Tuesday, March 9th in order to meet the goal of $100,000. Since the team has been calling parents, alumni and friends of the Academy over th past two weeks, cadets have raised $97,500 in pledges toward its goal.
Last year, the Phonathon was successful in exceeding the pledge goal of $100,000 and the 2010 Phonathon team is also eager to finish ahead of the goal.
The FUMA family and cadets would like to thank everyone who has participated thus far in the Phonathon.
