FOUNDATION HONORS DONORS WHO HAVE GIVEN 40 YEARS EVENT RECAPS The 2nd Annual VAF 40-year Milestone Dinner was held on Oct. 19 to honor all VAF mem- bers who reached their 40th an- niversary for consecutive years of giving in 2011. Slaughter Gym was transformed into an elegant gala atmosphere and guests delighted in an evening of fine music and dining. During the program, hon- orees enjoyed an all-athletics highlight video prior to hear- ing from special guest speak- ers. Dirk Katstra thanked the honorees for their loyal sup- port for 40 years and provided some nostalgic highlights from the VAF board minutes and campaign goals of 1972. Craig Littlepage addressed the crowd and reminisced on other worldly events that occurred during the donors' first year of giving. The keynote speaker was head men's tennis coach Brian Boland. Coach Boland shared how the support of these leg- acy donors had positively im- pacted Virginia athletics and, more specifically, the develop- ment of his own program into a powerhouse in collegiate tennis nationwide. Honorees received a collec- tion of favorite UVa athletics memories that were submitted by invited guests. ANONYMOUS (1) Mr. and Mrs. J. Rudy Austin Reverend Nicholas G.
