Special Olympian golfer Grace Anne Braxton, a University of Mary Washington Campus Dining employee for more than two decades, putted her way to a silver medal at last month’s 2019 Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>

And the campus community wants to celebrate! UMW will honor Braxton – whom many of us know as “Amazing Grace” – on UMW’s Ball Circle TODAY (Thursday, April 11), at 4:30 p.m., with all the fanfare Mary Washington can muster.<\/p>

Everyone is invited to come out and offer “Three Cheers for Amazing Grace.”<\/p>

Tune in to NBC this evening at 6:45 p.m. to see Grace Anne’s interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
