Will Wellman '01 Inspires
a Cause for a Cure
I
n 2008, Will Wellman '01 was diagnosed with an
aggressive form of FSGS, a rare and debilitating
kidney disease which quickly led to total kidney
failure. A close-knit group of friends and fraternity
brothers rallied together
to create a simple BBQ
fundraiser event to raise
money for the NephCure
Kidney International,
the only non-profit
organization committed
to finding a cure for FSGS
and Nephrotic Syndrome.
What began as a simple
backyard BBQ has grown
into the Tampa Pig Jig
on the River, an annual
waterfront blowout with
great bands, delicious
food, fun games, and
thousands of supporters.
To read about the sixth Annual Pig Jig in October,

Alumni and guests gather before dinner at the 2016 Old Pharts' Weekend.
