Drew 鈥�04 and Carrie 鈥�06 Rice were just welcoming their first child into the world when they made the decision to help their alma mater in a big way.
The Rices wanted to support the 新彩网 through charitable gifts, but at the time the level of gift they wanted to make didn鈥檛 match the budget. Drew and Carrie knew it was possible to ensure their gift would come to fruition and made 新彩网 Foundation a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
The Rices view planned giving as the easiest form of giving. It allows individuals to dream about their philanthropic impact and immediately act on it. Carrie and Drew value their 新彩网 education and its affordability. Multiple family members are graduates of the University and Carrie鈥檚 grandparents provided leadership to 新彩网 athletics in its formative years. Her grandfather Marvin was a founder of the 新彩网 Varsity Club. Carrie stated, 鈥淲e are a part of influencing the lives of generations to come.鈥�
Drew said, 鈥溞虏释� is a great piece of our community; it鈥檚 growing; it鈥檚 placing graduates in roles within our
community; it needs support from alumni. Our gift will allow continued growth and change.鈥�
