Today I’d like to express my gratitude to Virginia Wesleyan College Board of Trustees member Jon Pruden, co-owner and president of local specialty food favorite, TASTE.
On behalf of TASTE, Jon generously supported the women’s basketball team’s recent t-shirt fundraiser for Jodi Bryant, a VWC staff member battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma for a second time. Jodi is the Administrative Assistant to the President and the Assistant Secretary to the Board of Trustees.
During a break in their winter meeting yesterday, the Board of Trustees and senior administration donned their #JodiStrong t-shirts, courtesy of Jon, in a show of support for this remarkable member of the Marlin family. (see photos below) Every day I’m reminded how special the Virginia Wesleyan community is, and yesterday was no exception.
Thank you to Jon and also to Head Women’s Basketball Coach Stephany Dunmyer, who organized the fundraiser for Jodi. In total, the team raised $4,375 for the Bryant family.
