UFV employee Anne Russell, who has been donating to UFV for 23 years, received a UFV Ripple Makers Loyalty Paddle of Distinction at the Celebrating Difference-Makers Event on Wednesday, November 10. Anne’s total donations reached the $5,000 mark last week and she is excited about supporting UFV students.
“My two daughters are both on their way to great careers and are well-rounded citizens because of the excellent education they received at UFV. And although my son chose a different university to launch his studies after graduating from high school this year, all three of my children have benefited from scholarships, as did I when I was a university student.
“But equally as important to me are the many UFV students over the decades who I have watched and supported as they were transformed by their UFV experience and went on to be successful in their careers and to become proud alumni. I am happy to count many of them as my friends and to have contributed to the success of all of our students through many years of giving back through my small-scale, slow-but-steady approach to donating.”
Today is National Philanthropy Day! Please make your donation today. You can give to UFV, the United Way or both!
Donate via payroll deduction, donate online, or donate in person at our offices in B310 on the Abbotsford campus via credit card, cheque or cash.
