WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – William & Mary Football Head Coach Mike London will be honored by the Hampton Roads Youth Foundation during its 30 For 30 Reception and Awards Banquet at the Virginia Air and Space Center on Friday, July 10 from 7-10 p.m.
 
A limited number of tickets for the event are available to the public and can be purchased at hryf.org.

The event is part of the HRYF All-Star Weekend and will celebrate 30 years of service, scholarship, student athletes and community impact.

After leading W&M to five consecutive winning campaigns for the first time in nearly three decades, this fall London will return for his eighth season at the helm of the Tribe.
 
In just seven seasons, London has already established himself as one of the most successful head coaches in the program's 132-year history. In addition to ranking as the third-winningest head coach at W&M (43) and earning 105 career victories, he has helped the Tribe break into the national rankings four of the past five seasons. Additionally, W&M ascended into the nation's top 10 three of the last four years.
 
During the recent stretch of success, which includes an appearance in the 2022 NCAA Quarterfinals, London has helped Tribe standouts garner 55 All-CAA honors during the last five seasons, highlighted by 21 first-team selections. Additionally, 22 W&M players have combined to earn 81 All-America honors during London's tenure.
 
In addition to the numerous accolades, London has overseen the development of six former Tribe standouts who have signed NFL contracts – Charles Grant (Raiders), Nate Lynn (Lions), Colby Sorsdal (Lions), Owen Wright (Ravens), Andrew Trainer (Chargers) and Bill Murray (Patriots).
 
W&M has also continued to build upon the program's tradition of academic excellence during London's tenure, as 50 standouts garnered CAA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll recognition during the most recent fall semester.
 
Off the field, London has made a tremendous impact as a leader in the community. Most notable is his work with the NMDP (National Marrow Donor Program – formerly Be The Match), which has registered hundreds of new potential donors. Among those are multiple W&M football standouts whose efforts helped save lives.
