Donald was chosen amongst actors from all over the country to be part of the Ten-Chimney Foundation’s Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship Program. In order to be considered, you must be nominated, which Donald was by the Alliance Theatre.
Here’s his blurb:

Congrats, Donald! I am sorry I have never actually been to the Wren’s Nest, but hopefully I can hear you tell one of your stories live when I finally make it there.
I hope Amelia bakes you a cake.
She gave him a Twix.
I think he was pleased.
Well, gotta give the man what he likes, I guess.
[...] Nannie and Jeri gave them a tour of the Wren’s Nest, Donald gave them a performance of the Brer Rabbit stories, and I provided them with a mess of Brer Lion t-shirts. Lain sat around and put his feet up. [...]
My friend, esteemed actor Donald Griffin, needs the prayers and blessings of each and everyone of his supporters as he battles complications due to diabetes.
Please hold him in love’s light.
