On November 15, two of Virginia Wesleyan’s most devoted friends, Susan
and David Goode, were honored as Outstanding Philanthropists during a
luncheon sponsored by the Hampton Roads chapter of the Association of
Fundraising Professionals. Senior Vice President Dr. Mort Gamble;
Associate Vice President for Advancement Suzanne Savage; Board of
Trustees Chair David Kaufman; Trustee Henry Watts H’07 and his wife
Eleanor; Dr. Travis Malone, Dean of the Susan S. Goode School of Arts
and Humanities, and my wife Annie and I attended the celebration,
representing VWC. A number of other current and former Trustees and
special friends of the College were also in attendance.
As part
of the presentation, a special video was prepared as a tribute to the
Goodes’ wonderful record of philanthropy for numerous organizations and
causes in our region. Highlighted was their strong commitment to
Virginia Wesleyan; Susan remains an active member of our College’s Board
of Trustees.
The video was produced by Tom Redmond, with editing and cinematography by Phil Wright.

We
extend our warmest congratulations and gratitude to David and Susan for
their award in philanthropy and their continuing investment in the
success of Virginia Wesleyan College.
