Honoring her father
David M. Paul wasn’t a UNH alumnus. But when the successful businessman and engineer retired to New Hampshire many years ago, he developed a great affinity for the University. When Paul died in May of 2012 at the age of 83, he left behind the David M. Paul Family Foundation. Charged with finding causes that would reflect and honor her father’s interests, his daughter knew at once that an athletic endowment at UNH would be on the list.
Bob and Sherry Phillips
Contributing time, talent and treasure
Sherry and Bob Phillips’ time together as a couple only slightly exceeds the number of years they’ve been connected to their beloved University of New Hampshire. The two met after signing on to work for a summer at the same country store near Bob’s family’s vacation home in Ossipee, New Hampshire.

Why the Holloways made a charitable bequest
When it first began in 1988, the Paul J. Holloway Prize Competition, aimed at encouraging entrepreneurial passion and innovative ideas for businesses, had what would be considered standard business ideas: a plan to launch a babysitting service, an idea for a dog-walking business, and the like.

Part of something positive
Walking among the UNH science buildings one day in 1980, her freshman year, Beth Bye noticed a little daycare center nestled in what was once known as Forest Park. Confident in her abilities to work with children from her days as a director of a camp back at home, she walked in the door, asked for a job, and was hired. And there a 40+-year career in Early Childhood Education was launched.

George and Cathy Wilson
The perfect gift solution
George and Cathy decided they wanted to invest in UNH and found that a charitable gift annuity was the perfect solution. A charitable gift annuity at UNH provides fixed income for life in exchange for a gift of cash or stock. Gift annuities can be established to pay one or two people throughout their lifetime, which make them especially attractive arrangements for many individuals or married couples who seek additional income.

Paul E. and Sandra J. Dallaire
Supporting future Occupational Therapists
After Sandy passed away in 2017, Paul wanted to do something to pay tribute to the incredible mark she made in the field of Occupational Therapy in New Hampshire. He established an endowed scholarship so the family could enjoy seeing Sandy’s legacy in action right away and, to ensure the fund lived on to benefit UNH OT students in perpetuity, Paul added a bequest commitment to the fund.

Karri & Ed Olefirowicz
Keeping the Chemistry in Chemistry
Because of how those years in UNH Chemistry shaped their lives, Karri and Ed began donating to UNH early on, whatever they could, with their early career salaries. All along, it has been critical to them to support the institution that led them to such incredible career opportunities—careers that gave them the financial means to give back. Though many charitable organizations have earned their support, UNH remains their first love for bringing them together and setting them on their paths.
