Bob Black of the University of Richmond Athletics Department sent us the following release of a new fund established in the name of Dan Woolley, ‘05:

The University of Richmond community was deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Daniel “Dan” Woolley `05. The thoughts of many at the University of Richmond community are with Dan’s family and friends during this difficult time.

Dan was such a remarkable, inspiring and encouraging person to be around. Although short in stature, Dan stood tall as an integral part of the men’s basketball program. He served as team manager from 2002-05 and was an inspiration for the University of Richmond community.

To honor Dan’s memory, the University of Richmond’s Department of Athletics through the Spider Club has set up The Dan Woolley Educational Fund.

The Dan Woolley Educational Fund is open to all donors who wish to honor their memories of Dan with a gift. Funds will provide financial assistance to a senior athletic manager’s educational expenses from the men’s and women’s basketball programs each year.

If you wish to contribute to this fund, your check should be made payable to the University of Richmond for the Dan Woolley Educational Fund and mailed to the Spider Club, Robins Center, University of Richmond, VA 23173. For more information please contact the Spider Club (804) 289-8759.
