Dewayne & Janice Mack Donate to UAC Foundation’s 50 & Forward Campaign

The UA Cossatot Foundation received a gift from Foundation Board Member Dewayne Mack and his wife, Janice, the week of Giving Tuesday. The $5,000 donation will go toward the Foundation’s 50 & Forward Campaign.“We just want to help in a little way for students less fortunate than others,” said Mack.

The UA Cossatot Foundation’s 50 & Forward Campaign is designed to provide more scholarship funds for UA Cossatot students through a matching grant UA Cossatot recently received. All donations raised through this campaign are matched 100 percent up to $150,000. The goal is to raise $150,000 or more by 2025 to establish a new scholarship endowment of $300,000 in honor of the college’s upcoming 50th anniversary.

Chancellor Dr. Steve Cole said, “We have worked so hard to get where we are over the past 46 years and we will keep doing all that we can for our students. When we have supporters like Dwayne and Janice, it helps eliminate the greatest hurdle our students face, and that is being able to afford college. It makes it even better to know that their $5,000 donation has immediately turned into $10,000 with the unique grant we received last year!”

The UA Cossatot Foundation would like to invite all donors, alumni, and friends of the college to make a gift of any amount to the 50 & Forward Campaign to establish scholarship funds for generations to come.

Remember, if you donate $100, it immediately turns into $200. If you donate $10,000, it immediately turns into $20,000.
