Legacy Society Donor Event Unveils Commemorative Plaques in Honor of Generous Contributors
Publish Date: Oct. 27, 2023
The Crafton Hills College Foundation hosted a reception to honor and celebrate the generosity of Legacy Society donors on October 20.
Seventy engraved blocks serve as a lasting testament to the unwavering dedication of donors with cumulative gifts to the college and are prominently displayed in the Crafton Center, allowing all visitors to view and appreciate the profound impact of their philanthropy.
The ceremony included a reflection from Foundation Director and Legacy Society member, Barbara Smith who shared, “Having my name on the legacy wall is a very nice thank you for my donation to the college, however, the gratitude of being able to see my donations at work is beyond heart-warming.”
Student, Daxter Serrato, provided an overview of how the funds they received helped them attend the National Conference for the Geological Society of America. Daxter explained how the extracurricular experience broadened their horizon about research topics. “I hope my story, and my hard work highlights the importance of our donors’ investments into the hopes and dreams of the students here at Crafton,” concluded Daxter.
