A truly special day at Nick’s House. 💚🩷
Today, we gathered to honor and celebrate the life of Deana Jespersen with her family, friends, coaches, and the Rowan Women’s Volleyball team.
Together, we dedicated a porch swing in her memory, shared stories, laughed, cried, and reflected on Deana’s legacy and her support of the HEADstrong Foundation. The Rowan volleyball team expressed their love for Coach Deana by painting rocks for the Hope Venture rock garden.
Today was a powerful moment we take with us as we kickoff the Hope Venture Pink Out campaign this fall, an initiative that Deana led through her incredible community to raise support and awareness for families affected by breast cancer and shedding light on the meaning behind “Why We Wear Pink.” Together the Hope Venture community will honor Deana and continue her incredible legacy.
