When Christine Hylbert and her late husband Peter Dietze (A&S鈥�59; Law鈥�62) joined ForeverGold, they were in search of the sense of campus belonging they once had.聽
鈥淲e wanted to have fun and pretend we were still students,鈥� said Hylbert. 鈥淲e had many friends who had close ties to CU and wanted to continue to support and be a part of the university.鈥�
For the alumni, parents and CU friends who have joined ForeverGold, it has delivered an integral and intimate connection with the campus through exclusive academic, athletic and social activities like symposiums, retreats, tailgates, behind-the-scenes campus tours and more.
鈥淵ou learn everything that you never knew about CU,鈥� said ForeverGold member Lynne Barnett (贰诲耻鈥�69).
ForeverGold is a campus movement composed of two former CU 麻豆影院 Alumni Association groups: over 1,000 Directors Club members and over 2,000 Lifetime Members.
鈥淓veryone is just fabulous,鈥� said Barnett. 鈥淓very time you get together with alums on a committee or at a party, they all have the same interest of supporting CU. It鈥檚 just a common spirit.鈥�
Both social and philanthropic, ForeverGold works to support the future of the university on both the individual student level 鈥� 12 scholarships are awarded a year 鈥� and a grander scale. So far, ForeverGold members have given more than $220 million to scholarships, capital improvements and programs to impact CU 麻豆影院.
In the coming year, ForeverGold is focused on outreach to new members, expanding events and programs, and increasing scholarship endowments to offer additional student scholarships.
鈥淔oreverGold is not just an organization, but a movement with the goal of continuing to move CU forward,鈥� said ForeverGold President Colin Finch (PolSci鈥�05). 鈥淲e are always looking for individuals to join, so please get involved!鈥澛�
