On March 14, Brenau University will host its annual Dempsey Dash 5K and 1K Fun Run in memory of the university’s long-time executive vice president and CFO, Wayne Dempsey. The event benefits the Wayne W. Dempsey Endowed Scholarship Fund, first funded in Dempsey’s memory in 2014 by an anonymous donor. Official Dempsey Dash T-shirts provided for all pre-registered participants by February 20. All other registered participants through race day will receive shirt while supplies last. Certified race: Certification # is GA24002DJ Why A Bowtie? Known for his impeccable style, Dr. Dempsey was a true "clotheshorse" who was rarely seen on campus without a sharp suit or a fashionable sport coat. His commitment to fashion was legendary—his sons even recall him mowing the lawn in penny loafers. His signature bow tie habit allegedly began in the late 1980s, inspired by his eldest son. Not content with clip-ons, Dr. Dempsey spent hours mastering the art of tying them by hand. This look soon became his professional calling card. Today, his sons cherish his extensive collection, continuing to wear his ties as a stylish tribute to a unique man. When to pick up participant bags or shirts? Saturday, at registration/check-in.
