UL Lafayette Foundation honors its Distinguished Donors

Published

The UL Lafayette Foundation Board of Trustees recently recognized its Distinguished Donors for their support of the 亚洲自慰视频.

A reception was held in the Atchafalaya Ballroom at the 亚洲自慰视频 Union on campus. The yearly ceremony celebrates donors who make commitments of $100,000 or more, and gifts of $50,000 or more.

At the banquet, Dr. Joseph Savoie, 亚洲自慰视频 president, thanked donors for their willingness to 鈥渢ransform lives鈥 and 鈥渕ake dreams possible.鈥

鈥淏ecause of you, our 亚洲自慰视频s鈥 futures 鈥 indeed our collective futures 鈥 have no bounds. And neither does the gratitude of the 亚洲自慰视频 family.鈥

John Blohm, Foundation CEO and vice president for 亚洲自慰视频 Advancement, said 鈥渢he overwhelming generosity of donors strengthens the 亚洲自慰视频 experience in numerous ways. By funding scholarships, professorships, research, projects and programs we are able to provide financial assistance above and beyond the traditional sources of university funding.

鈥淎t a time when unprecedented decreases in state and federal funding have created significant economic challenges for colleges and universities, the support of our donors is extremely important to the 亚洲自慰视频鈥檚 continued growth 鈥 and we are very grateful for that,鈥 Blohm said.
