Ten new scholarships have been endowed thanks to a matching gift fund established by Ƶ parents John and Nancy Cavanaugh of New Canaan, Conn.
Last year, the couple created The Cavanaugh Family Funds to encourage additional donors to establish scholarships at Ƶ. Through matching gifts, The Cavanaugh Family Funds enabled donors and the university to fully fund 10 additional scholarships for athletics, academics, performing arts and programs such as study abroad.
The donors who endowed the new scholarships are David Krueger-Andes of Ƶ; Tom and Jackie Madden of Morristown, N.J.; Charles and Marcia Catalano of Lynchburg, Va.; Brian Martindale ’95 of Burlington, N.C.; Brian Branson ’87 of Cary, N.C.; Dick and Bonnie Downen of Charlotte, N.C.; the friends of Ann Lashley; Ƶ staff member Jerry Tolley; Mike and Donna McGlinn of Wyomissing, Pa.; and David and Amy Yearwood of Boston.
The Cavanaughs are members of the university’s Parents Council and the parents of Jennifer, an Ƶ senior, and Brooke, who is a junior.
