Jim Valvano's spirit lives on at The V Foundation. Our many event planners and volunteers across the country demonstrate his spirit and carry out The Foundation's mission by holding various types of fundraisers all over the country. Some of these grassroots events include basketball games, golf tournaments, formal galas, an individual participating in a triathlon, and many more - each as unique as the individuals who conduct them. Here at The V Foundation, we realize the hard work that goes into coordinating an event; we truly appreciate the effort and dedication that these individuals, groups and families extend to supporting our cause.
