The Alana V. Allen Family Legacy Fund was established to honor the enduring legacy of my beloved father, Donald L. Allen ‘74, and my cousin, Kenny Britt ‘06.

Both men were proud graduates of Reidsville High School and passionate sports enthusiasts, excelling in track and field, football, and basketball. My father, Donald L. Allen, was deeply committed to giving back to his community and lived by a spirit of generosity.
