Reception<\/strong><\/ins>
At the reception and silent auction that precedes the comedy show, our honored guest UVA<\/span> football coach Mike London<\/strong> will take a few minutes from his busy schedule to remind us why we must never give up. Coach London will share with us some of his compelling personal narrative. As a community leader who shares our determination to make the most out of what we\u2019ve got and our vision to move forward with our lives Building a Bridge will present him with our first ever \u201cNever Quit\u201d award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
