Celebrate with Ann Hargis

On November 30, we clebrated First Cowgirl Ann Hargis' birthday. It was a special one, made more so by your generous birthday gifts in support of student scholarships at the DRC. Ann, our friend and leader, has been with the Doel Reed Center since Martha Reed first discussed this property and endowment gift. Ann and Burns Hargis immediately became involved with the project and committed to supporting OSU students from many disciplines as they study at the Doel Reed Center.

It is not too late to honor Ann's committment to OSU students with a donation. Visit our Annual Scholarship Fund to take advantage of matching dollars available through December 31, 2024 and double your your impact. We will make sure Ann knows you have honored her with a gift!
