BUTLER BENEFIT AUCTION Friday, March 1, 2019

BUTLEROPOLY

Dear Friends, Welcome to Butleropoly, our 22nd annual benefit auction! On behalf of everyone at Butler, and especially all of the students who will benefit from the money we raise tonight, thank you for being here and for changing lives with your giving and caring hearts. We are humbled and honored by your presence. This year’s theme evokes fond memories of hours spent playing Monopoly as a child with my family and friends and later as a parent with my own children. I still have the well-worn Monopoly game that we played for so many years including the handwritten replacement cards for Pacific Avenue and Pennsylvania Railroad. Still today, the “scottie dog� is my favorite!

Unlike the board game in which there can be only one winner, many win because of Butler. Your support helps students create their own value as they make their way in the real world.

Your generous giving tonight supports the Foundation, enabling us to ensure the brightest future for the college, our students, and their families. We are indeed fortunate to enjoy the kindness of so many amazing donors who recognize the unique value Butler offers.

Thanks to our supporters, scholarship dollars continue to grow. This academic year, the Foundation will award close to $1,000,000 in scholarships and other support to the college to benefit students.

Students come to Butler from all walks of life and many struggle to balance school, work, family, and other responsibilities. With your gifts, you lighten their burden by helping to keep them in college and focused on academics, enabling them to work fewer hours, afford more classes and most importantly to graduate.

I extend a heartfelt thanks to our honorary chairs, Scott and Betsy Redler, for their amazing leadership and to all of the sponsors, volunteers, donors, and staff who collectively make this evening exciting and successful year after year. Each of you plays an important role in inspiring, empowering, and transforming student lives and we are tremendously grateful for your generosity and belief in Butler.

Enjoy the evening, Dr. Kimberly Krull President, Butler Community College

Honorary Chairs Believing in, encouraging, and supporting education is a passion for Betsy and Scott Redler. Watching students’ spark for knowledge ignite is what it’s all about for the Redlers. That spark turns into flames through the generous support of the Redlers and others like you who truly believe in the value of a rich educational experience.

Being the co-founder and COO of Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, Scott truly understands the value of the hospitality industry – it teaches service to Betsy & Scott Redler others, leadership, dedication, hard work, and so much more. Scott has generously supported students in the hospitality program for nearly 25 years by serving on the advisory board of Butler’s Hospitality Management & Culinary Arts program since its inception. The Redlers also established an endowed scholarship to help students who have a dream of succeeding in the hospitality industry turn those dreams into reality.

As Scott has said, “We were fortunate to have people support us along our journey toward our dream of restaurant ownership and now it’s our turn to help someone else achieve their dreams – that is the best reward for us.” Please join the Redlers in expanding Butler students’ desire for knowledge and journey toward achieving their dreams.
