Event Recaps 40-Year Milestone Dinner The third annual VAF 40-year Milestone Dinner was held on September 20 at Morven Farm. This special evening honored all VAF members who reached their 40th anniversary for consecutive years of giving in 2012. Those being honored were treated to an all-athletics highlight video and a performance from the Virginia Gentlemen, prior to hearing from guest speakers. VAF Executive Director Dirk Katstra opened the program by thanking those in attendance for their loyal support of 40 years. Athletics Director Craig Littlepage addressed the crowd and reminisced about the state of the athletics program 40 years ago. Dick Fogg, one of the 40-year Milestone donors, offered his take on the past 40 years along with some humorous stories of his time on the football team at UVa. The keynote speaker for the evening was head baseball coach Brian O'Connor. He shared how the support of donors had directly impacted the baseball program and how he, as a donor, hoped to one day be celebrating 40 years of his own support back to UVa. Coach O'Connor stressed how donor support is not just about helping our programs win games, but more importantly, it's about developing athletes' character and helping them achieve greatness off the field. To thank the honorees, each received a printed collection of their favorite UVa Athletics memories and was recognized on-field the following day at the VMI football game.
