Bob '47 and Jean '45 (Sanesi) Donovan have been active and generous supporters of Willamette athletics. Almost every weekend they can be seen at one or more Bearcat events. In addition to their strong financial support, Bob has been a longtime official for cross-country and track and field meets. He has served on the Executive Committee of Cardinal Round Table, the Bearcats' athletic fundraising organization. After they were married in 1996, the Donovans were awarded the Lestle J. Sparks Medallion, given to graduates who exhibit great loyalty and service to the University.
