Scholarship Breakfast

More than 350 people attended this year's athletics scholarship fund-raiser at Kelowna's Coast Capri Hotel, sponsored by Valley First Credit Union. A $25,000 gift from Central Okanagan business leader Ron Jacobsen, matched by UBC, provided the vast majority of this year's windfall for the UBC Okanagan Athletics Scholarship Endowment Fund, which grew by approximately $110,000 as a result of this year's event.

"The Jacobsen family's incredible generosity is greatly appreciated," said Johnson. "This endowment will benefit Okanagan student athletes forever – a wonderful legacy for Mr. Jacobsen and his family."
