A decade ago, Eastern Panhandle natives Andy and Angela Moore made their first contribution to what is now the West Virginia University College of Creative Arts and Media. In 2015, the former high school band members and WVU enthusiasts pledged an initial $300,000 scholarship gift to support a member of “The Pride of West Virginia,” the University’s acclaimed Mountaineer Marching Band.
“Who doesn’t like a great marching band?” Andy Moore asked. “Supporting ‘The Pride of West Virginia’ is so easy. Clearly, they are exceptional at what they do, and I think everybody loves ‘The Pride.’”
The Moores recently committed to a generous gift in their will supporting the L. Andrew and Angela Moore Endowed Scholarship Fund.
