Donor Spotlights

"I feel that those of us that have been more fortunate in life have a responsibility to give back to our communities. When thinking of different ways I can give back, I can鈥檛 think of anything better than helping a young adult get an education that can help them achieve the American Dream. There is an old saying, 鈥楪ive a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him forever.鈥 Helping others be successful is the best thing we can do to give back to our communities, and I can鈥檛 think of a more effective way to help others be successful.鈥 鈥 Michael Allie BS 鈥75


鈥淒ecades ago, I read, 鈥業f not to each other鈥檚 burdens, what are we here for?鈥 I donate to organizations that address acute and immediate needs. If a person鈥檚 basic needs in life aren鈥檛 being met, it鈥檚 hard to focus on life goals 鈥 like an education. If my gift will help a student journey back home to their family or buy food to put on their table, then I鈥檓 happy to help. I am an investment professional and I consider the return on this relatively small amount to rank with the best investments I will ever make.鈥 鈥 Bruce Peinton 鈥73 AS Sales & Marketing Senior vice president of investments, Wells Fargo Securities
