GWU wants to help little girl meet actual George Washington

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Four-year-old Ava will sadly never get to meet George Washington. Why do the good always die so young ... and 215 years ago? Thankfully George Washington University is here to help.

Okay, so crossing the Delaware and dribbling past center court might have nothing in common, but at least GWU has a giant mascot of George Washington! Take a kid to Disneyland and they can’t really discern Mickey Mouse from a person in a costume, so this plan might just work.
