The White Rose Tribute Event
The 36th Annual White Rose Tribute Event
About Jonathan and Nancy Wolf
Jonathan and Nancy Wolf are deserving recipients of the Tess Wise White Rose Award, given their dedicated support and advocacy of our mission and other important causes. They are committed to a variety of philanthropic efforts, both locally and globally. Locally, the Wolf’s have been champions for the Orlando Museum of Art, Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando, and the University of Central Florida. On an international scale, Jonathan and Nancy created a partnership between UCF and The American University in Cairo paving the way for a reciprocal study abroad program, the Nancy and Jonathan Wolf Global Academic Initiative. Through their corporation, Wendover Housing Partners, Jonathan and Nancy are leading the effort to ensure that access to safe, secure, affordable housing is a right for all, including the most vulnerable populations – children, seniors and the homeless.
