Fundraising
Roosevelt Brown Plaque
Phase II was completed December 2009. A four foot extension was added to the trophy case . All missing trophies were replaced and all of the broken ones were repaired. A walnut plaque containing the names of some 60 contributors has been ordered and will be displayed near the beautiful new trophy case.
Announcing a new fund raiser. On January 14, 2010 the Albemarle County school board approved a proposal made by the club to name the existing football and baseball fields after the former Burley High School coaches Robert Smith and Clarence Jones . The proposal requested to name the current gymnasium after former coaches Walter Greene and Albert “AP” Moore. Burley Varsity Club is requesting your help in raising funds to help purchase two plaques to be placed at both locations. The goal is to raise $4,000 to fund this project. BVC (501.c3) is none profit organization and we would appreciate your support in this endeavor.
Thank you,
James Hollins - Chairman

When my children were enrolled at Venable School, every Spring brought field day and all of the events and competitions of the student body. My most vivid memories are of the parents in the bleachers and on the sidelines reminiscing about the athletic feats and amazing records set by the Mighty Burley Bears. You could sense the great pride and comraderie of those parents and it was crystal clear that the Burley experience had been a life defining one. It is of great importance to this community that these treasured accomplishments be remembered and celebrated. My best to the members of the Varsity Club. Keep those memories alive!
With high regard
