Exciting updates!

May 04, 2016

First of all, we want to thank everyone who so generously donated to our campaign since our last update! 

Peter Tsan

Celena Mondie-Milner

Everett Auzenne

Edna Dominguez

Nancy Toberman 

Alexia Apollo

and all those who donated anonymously.

 

Also-we learned that those who have never donated to UT before and are an alum, you receive a year membership to the alumni association for your donation! So please share our campaign with any recent alumni you may know-it is mutually beneficial to donate! 

We are going to be able to help around 22 students with what we have raised so far-which is just incredible! Please continue to share so we can continue serving our students in their time of need.

 

Thank you!

Thank you so much to all those who have generously donated! We are so excited to see the support behind the Student Emergency Fund.  We are able to help students in their time of need because of all of you! 

Also, we wanted to share a testimonial from a student who received emergency funds, to show what your donation can do for a student. 

"This organization really helped me when I needed it most; I was able to eat because of this fund! I will always be grateful with a spot in my heart for this place that cares about students' wellbeing and success. Thank you!"

Special thanks those who have donated since our last update:
