In one of the posts I mentioned a fund started by the alumni association. This fund is the same as the Hokie Spirit memorial fund.

Here's the quote from the alumni association.

In my previous email, I spoke of the creation of the "Virginia Tech Family Fund." This has been re-designated the “Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund”. They are one in the same. Your designation to either fund name will serve to assist the families of victims as well as others who were injured, and appropriately memorialize all those who lost their lives during the tragic events of April 16th.

So, if you contributed to that, you contributed to the Hokie Spirit Fund.

PS: I contributed to this particular fund.
