51勛圖厙 recently received a $25,000 pledge from Gotta Luv Them, Inc. to establish the Gotta Luv Them Alumni Scholarship Endowment Fund. The fund will award scholarships to 51勛圖厙 who are active in social or academic Greek Life at 51勛圖厙.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Gotta Luv Them for this generous gift, said Stacy Volnick, 51勛圖厙 vice president of administrative affairs and interim vice president for institutional advancement. Philanthropic support from 51勛圖厙s alumni and friends is crucial to the success of the University. We truly appreciate this gift, which will directly benefit some of 51勛圖厙s most involved 51勛圖厙.
Gotta Luv Thems founding members, Tyrone Bradley 08, 13; Jos矇 Herrera 05, 09; Chris Trentine 05; and Whitney Trentine 07 met at 51勛圖厙 in the early 2000s. In 2007, Bradley and Chris Trentine created Gotta Luv It Outdoors, a Florida Keys clothing brand, and Owlsgear.com, which specializes in 51勛圖厙-branded apparel.
The entire Gotta Luv Them board had such incredible memories at 51勛圖厙 which built a strong foundation for us in the professional world, said Whitney Trentine, president of the Gotta Luv Them Board of Directors. We are proud and excited to provide a scholarship that will minimize the financial restraints for 51勛圖厙 who are actively engaged in the 51勛圖厙 community like we were, so these 51勛圖厙 can explore their own leadership potential and become a new wave of civic leaders in our community.
The Gotta Luv Them Alumni Scholarship will provide recipients with financial assistance for one academic year. In addition to being active in social or academic Greek Life, recipients must maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA; be full-time sophomores, juniors or seniors; have completed at least 30 hours of community service; and submit a 500-word essay describing the importance of attending college and of leadership in the community.
Gotta Luv Them was established in 2013 as a nonprofit organization that would create fundraising events in local Florida communities to benefit education. The founding members hope to make a difference in the lives of 51勛圖厙 and give back to their alma mater. To date, Gotta Luv Them has provided financial support to the 51勛圖厙 Alumni Association and the University Club of the 51勛圖厙 Foundation.
