We host events throughout the year that give us an opportunity to thank and celebrate our donors while raising funds at the same time. Participating in or sponsoring our fundraising events is a great way to provide financial aid for students!
Your donations change lives. Read more about our donors’ impact below.
Jeremy Gauthier recently organized a fundraiser to build the Brendan Avery Stokes Memorial Scholarship Fund, which has been established in memory of Brendan Stokes to support trades students at TRU. Thank you for your generous philanthropy!
David and Candace Thatcher have been giving back in support of students at TRU for over 35 years. They recently stepped up for WolfPack student-athletes at TRU’s Back the ‘Pack Night, where Canadian Olympian Waneek Horn-Miller (middle of photo) was the keynote speaker. Thank you, David and Candace, for your generous philanthropy.
Terry and Margaret Bangen have been donating to support students at TRU for many years! They recently amplified the impact of their gift by offering a giving challenge during TRU Day of Giving. Thank you for your generous philanthropy!
Thank you to Dr. Kim Calder Stegemann for creating an endowed scholarship fund with other professors’ emeriti to support high-achieving students in any faculty. At TRU, professor emeritus/a is a title bestowed to a retired faculty member that has gone above and beyond the expectations of their role.
Thank you to TRU’s department of University and Employment Preparation (UEPrep) for helping students thrive by funding awards for UPrep and ESTR students. In addition to faculty support, students also help build their own awards by participating in trinket sales and donating the tips they receive at ESTR’s Market, an on-campus market featuring local, handmade and sustainable artisan products as well as meals, snacks and sweets that is staffed by ESTR students.
Thank you, Dennis Acreman. In 1995, Dennis gave $10 to the TRU Library Campaign, marking the beginning of a philanthropic journey that has lasted 30 years — so far. During his lengthy career at TRU, Dennis led internal fundraising campaigns, was instrumental in establishing the Math Help Centre, expanded co-op opportunities, developed new course options and so much more. Dennis recently celebrated his retirement and we wish him all the best.
