Scott's View: Veterans Advantage VetFamily Leaders in Sports

May 1, 2015

Donna de Varona (seated, second from right) speaking at the special event.

This week's VetFamily profile is Yankee Manager Joe Girardi. Many athletes are a patriotic bunch, and its great to see how the family influence runs deep with Joe. With his signature crew cut, you might think he's a Marine, but as he will tell you, he is a product of his father's service in the Air Force.

Speaking of VetFamily and sports, we want to take a moment to salute Donna de Varona, a long-time Veterans Advantage Advisory member. The spouse of an Army Veteran, she is a two-time gold medalist, sports commentator, businesswoman, and a singular pioneer for women's rights and athletics.

Recently Donna was honored by Sports Business Daily, a leading industry trade magazine, as a CHAMPION, one of the great "Pioneers & Innovators in Sports Business." Congratulations, Donna and thank you for all you do for all of us! And I almost forgot, Happy Birthday!!
