The Spirit of the Brotherhood

The JMU Football Alumni Club, proudly known as JFAC, is where the legacy of the Dukes lives on. Formed by former players, coaches, and staff, the club exists to preserve the powerful bond that started on the field and continues long after the final whistle.

Our Mission

The JMU Football Alumni Club is a charitable organization built on the belief that the brotherhood we formed on the field can create lasting change off of it.

 

We exist to support our alumni, uplift current players, and strengthen the community that made us who we are.

 

Through initiatives like the Dukes Lead Mentorship Program, scholarship assistance, career referrals, and community events, we help alumni stay connected while empowering the next generation of Dukes.

 

By giving back, whether through time, mentorship, or donation, every supporter becomes part of something bigger than the game.

 

Together, we preserve the spirit, integrity, and legacy of JMU Football for years to come.
