Dear Friends,

As many of you know, our dear friend Mandy McConnell is navigating the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Neal. He was deeply loved by his family and will be missed beyond measure.

Mandy now faces the difficult chapter with extraordinary strength as she cares for their three sons - Stokes, a sophomore at Sewanee; Bragg, a freshman as SMU; and Ollie, a high school junior. In response to this tragedy, her family has established a fund to support the boys continued education and help ease the transition during this time of change. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in their lives.
