Philanthropy
HAS NO AGE
D
r. Leroy Garrett (’42) and Joey Hopkins (’10) may span four generations of Abilene Christian University benefactors, but they are partners in our Heritage Society. Leroy, a church history scholar and author, has been a donor for some 50 years, most recently through Charitable Gift Annuities designed to benefit him in retirement and accrue as endowment funds to help advance ACU’s mission. Joey’s philanthropy began as a 20-year-old when he became the youngest member of the President’s Circle in 2007. Now an independent petroleum landman, he recently established the Dell Hopkins Memorial Endowed Scholarship in
memory of his father, who died when Joey was a child. Joey remembers his parents’ and grandparents’ involvement with ACU, and wants to help others who have the same opportunities he enjoyed. At ages 94 and 26, respectively, Leroy and Joey understand the benefits of investing in ACU and its students. Please join them in our Partnering in the Journey Campaign to increase scholarships, and know that every gift is significant in the partnership of Christian higher education. Contact The ACU Foundation today for assistance with your interests and plans for meeting personal, family and charitable goals.
