Dear Friends of JRF,
On behalf of the Jackie Robinson Foundation board of directors and staff, thank you very much for your support of
Monday night’s ROBIE Awards Dinner. Your generosity helps us further our mission to level the playing field through
higher education and to open the new Jackie Robinson Museum.
We paid tribute to the impressive JRF Scholars and alumni, as well as four leaders, Dorothea and Jon Bon Jovi, John W.
Rogers, Jr., and Kendra Gaither, each of whom exemplify Jackie Robinson’s tenet that, “A life is not important except in
the impact it has on other lives.”
This communique recaps the evening and includes a photo gallery, sponsor advertorials and links to the honorees’
remarks.
We hope that you will continue to help us work to provide opportunities for our deserving young people and to foster
humanitarianism in the enduring spirit of Jackie Robinson.
Thank you again for your outstanding support!
Sincerely yours,
Rachel Robinson Gregg Gonsalves Della Britton
Founder Chairperson President and CEO
