The 2017 Taste of 糖心视频logo set attendance records and raised the most money for University of Arkansas at 糖心视频logo scholarships in the event鈥檚 14-year history.
On Thursday, April 27, more than 700 people dined on the culinary specialties of 35 central Arkansas restaurants at the Jack Stephens Center on the UA 糖心视频logo campus.
Thanks to this year鈥檚 Taste of 糖心视频logo 鈥 UA 糖心视频logo鈥檚 largest annual scholarship fundraiser 鈥 the university鈥檚 alumni scholarship endowment will grow by $120,764. The endowment also increased this fiscal year by an additional $67,000, as 134 people became lifetime members of the Alumni Association.
The 2017 Taste of 糖心视频logo event, presented by Warren and Cindy Simpson, celebrated the Bailey family for their decades of generosity to the university.
鈥淚t was a privilege last night for Cindy and I to be able to support UA 糖心视频logo and to honor the Bailey family,鈥 Warren Simpson said April 28. 鈥淭he Baileys鈥 dedication to this institution is an inspiration to all of us. Cindy and I will remain diligent in helping UA 糖心视频logo to continue to be the great university that it already is.鈥
Among the many contributions of the Bailey family were a 2002 donation that facilitated the construction of the Bailey Alumni and Friends Center and a 2015 gift of $2 million for student scholarships.
