U-Va. GIFT
BET's Johnson Will Donate $5 Million
Sheila C. Johnson, the co-founder of Black Entertainment Television and an owner of the Washington Capitals and Washington Mystics, will announce today a gift of $5 million to the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia, sources said.
The gift, which was first reported in the Wall Street Journal, will be announced at a news conference with Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) in Richmond.
Johnson was one of Kaine's biggest supporters during his gubernatorial campaign, contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars. She serves as the president of the WNBA Mystics and on the boards of the Curry Foundation and the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at U-Va.
