The University of Findlay

On Friday, Oct. 10, The University of Findlay celebrated Applause! This event is a recognition reception to honor those who made significant financial contributions to The University of Findlay. Individuals who contributed $1,000 or more in cash to the University during the preceding fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2008, were invited to this very special evening. In addition, Dr. William and Mrs. Donna Ruse, and Mr. Robert ’57 and Mrs. Catherine Pritts were honored as the recipients of the 2008 Distinguished Associates award during the evening. This prestigious award is given to those who provide significant financial support and serve as volunteers with the University.

Please plan your giving and mark your calendar for the next Applause! celebration for Oct. 10, 2009.
