In 2005, a small group of Fresno State alumni and friends established the Bulldog Pride Fund (BPF). Its mission was and is quite simple: to provide an annuity to support scholarships.
Just five years later, donations to the BPF endowment total nearly $175,000. All made possible by the generosity of Fresno State donors, alumni and friends just like you. In fact, 2009-10 donations increased 62 percent, compared to 2008-09. What an accomplishment!
Most importantly, by this fall, the BPF will have awarded a total of $21,000 in scholarships to students based on academic achievement, financial need and community involvement.
It is my pleasure to share with you the 2009-10 Honor Roll of Donors: [CLICK HERE]. These donors provided $13,632.64 in donations between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010.
You, and many people like you, are successfully transforming students’ lives at Fresno State. Thank you for your continued support.

PS: This fall, the BPF will award four $2,000 scholarships ($8,000 total) for the 2010-11 academic year: Allison Zulewski, Leonel Barajas, Julia Scott; and to the student(s) performing as Fresno State’s mascot, the inaugural TimeOut Spirit Award!
GIVE TODAY. FOR TOMORROW AND BEYOND.
