Come say “Hi” to Foundation staff Laurie Camody,<br />

Margie Bunten and Susanne Orsini.<br />

The Foundation Office is located in the Administration<br />

Building on the east side of the President’s Courtyard.<br />

The <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation<br />

The <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation was organized in 1985 to solicit and manage gifts to benefit the college and<br />

its students. The Foundation is dedicated to supporting the <strong>College</strong>’s mission of providing comprehensive academic<br />

opportunities to the community for lifelong learning.<br />

A board of directors, who provides the leadership and direction for the organization’s operation, manages the<br />

Foundation. The Foundation has grown steadily since 1985 with assets over $4,600,000. This has been accomplished<br />

through donations of cash, bequests and grants from individuals and businesses. The Foundation has provided over<br />

$4,000,000 in scholarships to <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> students. In addition to cash assets, the Foundation annually<br />

receives donated equipment and supplies that represent thousands of dollars in non-monetary gifts.<br />

The primary focus of the Foundation Board of Directors is to work towards building support for college-wide<br />

needs. To nurture groups who have special interests in supporting <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong>, the Foundation provides<br />

staff support and direction to two auxiliaries. Each auxiliary is managed by its own board and officers, requiring<br />

membership dues for operational expenses.<br />

Report from the Foundation Chair<br />

Judy Elmore<br />

In May, the <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation awarded scholarships to over 200<br />

students at the annual Scholarships and Awards Ceremony. Since 1986, the<br />

Foundation has awarded over $4,000,000 to deserving students. This has been<br />

extremely gratifying to the Foundation as the awarding of scholarships is a direct<br />

contributor to our primary goal of student success at <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

On Saturday, March 13, 2010, the Foundation held its 13th annual <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> Gala. We are extremely pleased to have raised $86,000. This performance<br />

speaks volumes to the dedication and commitment of our Board Members and<br />

supporters. The proceeds have benefited <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> students and college<br />

programs. We particularly want to thank Elmore Toyota, Irvine Health Foundation,<br />

and Union Bank of California as major sponsors, as well as all of the underwriters<br />

who gave so generously to this event. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to<br />

the Gala Committee and the community at large for continuing to support this very important event. We look forward to<br />

continued success at our 14th Gala scheduled for March 19, 2011.<br />

In June, the Foundation initiated a new fund raising activity with the inaugural Texas Hold ‘Em Tournament. Congratulations<br />

to event chair Steve Olmsted for leading the Foundation to another successful event!<br />

Our 19th annual Courtyard of Honor Ceremony was celebrated last October. Three <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Alumni were<br />

honored as “Alumni Pillar of Achievement” recipients. Since the inception of this awards program in 1991, 86 alumni have<br />

been honored. We had three Pillars of Support (+$25,000), including The Irvine Health Foundation Pillar, The Mike and Lois<br />

Miller Pillar, and The Southern California Edison Pillar. The donor wall was increased by 54 donor names, with eight in the<br />

<strong>Golden</strong> Society ($10,000+) category.<br />

As we look to 2011, we want to express our collective gratitude for the continued participation and leadership of the<br />

Foundation Board members whose commitment and participation is critical to the overall success of the Foundation’s mission.<br />

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the community at large, which continues to support the Foundation and the college<br />

with its generosity and esprit de corps. Without this dedication, our work would not be possible. The Foundation’s objectives<br />

for 2011 include increasing the Board’s role in fostering student success, expanding Board membership, and continuing a high<br />

level of participation from our members. We are also looking towards successful Texas Hold ‘Em and Gala fundraising events,<br />

while continuing to seek fresh ideas for new fund raising opportunities.<br />

This year continued to be a challenge from an investment perspective, but our asset allocation methodology has rewarded us<br />

with improvements in our overall financial position from 2009.<br />

In closing, I would like to personally thank the Foundation Board of Directors and those who have provided advice, counsel,<br />

professional guidance, financial support and personal time to the Board during this past year. It is not often that I have had the<br />

unique opportunity to work with such a dedicated group for such a worthy cause. I look forward to the upcoming year as we<br />

focus on our goal of enhancing student success at <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

Message from <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

President, Wes Bryan<br />

Closing out a decade and starting another provides us a chance to reflect a<br />

bit more deeply than merely turning the page on another year. When I reflect<br />

on the generosity of so many donors over these past 10 years, I am filled with<br />

gratitude for what you have done for our students – directly and indirectly.<br />

During the last ten years our college received some of the largest donations in<br />

our history. So, of course, we gave away more scholarships than we have ever<br />

given. Your giving helped students purchase textbooks, lab equipment and technology. Your donations helped<br />

our college fund the restoration of some summer classes when the state was cutting back. Your efforts helped<br />

some students transfer on time instead of waiting another year. You helped us put a diploma in their hands this<br />

year, on time. How I wish you could have shared with me the smiles and hugs your gifts made possible.<br />

As the headlines recap these past ten years, we are reminded of the many difficult challenges our young people<br />

face. <strong>College</strong> is no longer a given; too many well-qualified students are being crowded out. Those that do make it<br />

must balance difficult course work with the strain of multiple jobs, the weight of family troubles, transportation<br />

hassles and a future that can seem quite bleak. The other day while reviewing a routine state report, a shocking<br />

statistic jumped off the page at me – last year more than 7,747 GWC students were awarded state or federal aid<br />

because they needed financial assistance. Community <strong>College</strong>s have always been an important doorway out of<br />

poverty into employment and rehabilitation; however, this statistic underscores the level of our students’ needs,<br />

even in this affluent community.<br />

When I look through this annual report I am reminded once more that we are able to help these students succeed<br />

because of your generosity and concern for their welfare. I want to thank you for being an important partner in<br />

creating a more hopeful future. May this decade be one in which, together, we make the world a better place than<br />

we found it. Happy new decade.<br />

President, <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

2010<br />

4th of July Parade<br />

<strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley were<br />

partners again in the Huntington Beach 4th of July Parade. Riding in a horse<br />

drawn wagon from <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> were: Susan Wall, Classified Employee<br />

of the Year; David Salai, Associated Students President; Morgan Mymon, Homecoming Queen;<br />

Sumair Devani, Homecoming King; and Greg Wight, Design Instructor & Faculty Member<br />

of the Year. They were joined by outstanding club members from The Boys and Girls Clubs of<br />

Huntington Valley, who help staff make a difference to kids at the Club through their commitment<br />

to volunteerism and willingness to help.<br />

Following the wagon in the college’s 1971 outreach vehicle, the “G-DUB”, were Wes Bryan, GWC<br />

President, and Shirley Dettloff, Board President, Boys and Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley.<br />

Following the G-DUB was “E/Motion,” a battery, solar-powered pedal vehicle designed and built<br />

by students in the GWC Design Program. Driving E/Motion was Steven Sewell, GWC Design<br />

student and past GWC Associated Student<br />

President. Steven transferred to California<br />

State University, Fullerton in fall 2010.<br />

The Boys and Girls Club of Huntington Valley<br />

and <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> are celebrating their<br />

partnership as the first to build a Boys & Girls<br />

Club on a college campus! The first phase of<br />

this exciting new facility will be completed by<br />

the end of this year.<br />

“I was surprised by the<br />

number of people at the<br />

parade and the great<br />

response to us along<br />

the parade route with<br />

shout-outs like, “GO<br />

RUSTLERS, and YEAH<br />

GOLDEN WEST!! It<br />

was a great experience.”<br />

The Silent Auction offered a wide variety and was a huge success.


Opportunity Drawing<br />

Thanks to the generosity of Elmore Toyota for the 6th year in a row, the Gala had a<br />

high ticket opportunity drawing—a 2010 Pruis Hybrid. 750 tickets were available for the<br />

Prius drawing at $100 each.<br />

Mr. Larry Belinn was the winner of the 2010 Toyota Prius IV with Solar Roof. Larry is<br />

a retired <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> accounting professor and was thrilled to get the phone<br />

call from David McHowell, General Manager of Elmore Toyota. He was amazed that he<br />

won, saying, “This doesn’t happen to me, the only thing I have ever won in my life is a<br />

box of See’s Candies!”<br />

Student Success<br />

For the sixth consecutive year, the<br />

<strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation<br />

has allocated funds to the<br />

GWC Library for the purchase<br />

of textbooks under the STAR<br />

(Student Textbook Access Reserve<br />

Collection) Book Program. This<br />

program, which began in the 2004-<br />

2005 school year, gives students<br />

access to over 228 titles covering 45<br />

academic departments.<br />

Last year’s students checked out<br />

books from the STAR collection<br />

Gala Gross and Net 1998 - 2010<br />

over 3,325 times. The top books<br />

are the very expensive math and<br />

community members and <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> staff and faculty. A volunteer organization<br />

Chefs For Scholarships<br />

The Patrons held their 5th annual Chefs for Scholarships fundraising event on Sunday,<br />

September 19, 2010. Held on campus at the GWC Student Center, donations for the event<br />

were up 36% from last year and attendance was over 500.The big winners were GWC<br />

students, as the event funds four major scholarships and an additional 12 scholarships to<br />

incoming high school students.<br />

For the second year, the <strong>Golden</strong> Chefs Award was given to a GWC alumnus. This award was<br />

established to honor a former <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> student who is continuing their studies<br />

at a 4-year college or university and has engaged in philanthropic efforts in support of<br />

students at <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

her Bachelor of Science degree<br />

from the University of Southern<br />

Hens & Chickens<br />

Quilt Auxiliary<br />

The Hens & Chickens Quilt Fellowship of<br />

<strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong>, an auxiliary of the<br />

Foundation, began in 1989 when a group of<br />

quilters did not want to disband after having<br />

taken a quilting class at <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

Their name, Hens & Chickens, was taken from<br />

the name of a quilt block. Originally a group<br />

of 5, they have been 25 members strong and<br />

range in age from 11 years to 80.<br />

Each year, they make an opportunity quilt<br />

and donate the funds to GWC scholarships as<br />

well as contributions to the campus for such<br />

projects as theater renovations, ballet bars for the dance department, new library books, a Fine<br />

Arts Gallery security system, Science Museum supplies and recently a brick entryway for the GWC<br />

California Native Plant Garden.<br />

This year’s quilt was called “The Paisley Star Quilt”. It is a large quilt measuring 97” square. There<br />

is one block in the quilt that is not like the others. When this happens, quilters call it the “humility<br />

block” with the idea that only God can make something perfect. See if you can tell which block is<br />

different.<br />

“Those who sleep under a quilt,<br />

sleep under a blanket of love”<br />

GWC Welcomes Veterans<br />

<strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> prepares for an estimated growth in its student veteran<br />

population and opens a Veterans Resource Center (VRC) to welcome students to a<br />

veteran-friendly campus.<br />

For a returning veteran, the academic world poses considerable challenges, as most individuals<br />

returning from military service have not attended traditional academic programs for several<br />

years. In some instances, veterans who have served in the military have a hard time with the<br />

transition from the “iron-clad” military lifestyle to that of a higher education academic culture.<br />

A significant number of veterans can be described as “nontraditional learners” and some return<br />

with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or other disabilities<br />

that pose substantial barriers to academic success.<br />

Another roadblock is the age/experience disparity between veterans and students coming to<br />

college right out of high school. Veterans who enter the college setting tend to be older and have<br />

a life experience that is much different than their non-military counterparts. The veteran also<br />

may have external demands that must be met — a spouse, children, a job.<br />

To meet the needs of these deserving students, <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> established a Veterans<br />

Resource Center to provide an on-campus point of contact for their veteran-related questions<br />

and needs as they navigate the college system. The overall goal is to deliver services to optimize<br />

academic success, which involves collaboration with all GWC student support services and<br />

other organizations including, U.S. Vets, O.C. Vets and the Veterans Administration. The Center<br />

operates without a budget. All of the furniture and equipment have been donated.<br />

Most importantly, the VRC provides students with a place to socialize with fellow veterans and is<br />

a meeting place for the newly established GWC Student Veteran Organization. There is no better<br />

way for veterans to adjust to campus life than with students who share their experiences.<br />

Veterans are accustomed to working as a team and students who make a connection with other<br />

students are more likely to achieve their educational goals. Students were asked what the VRC<br />

meant to them and they gave similar responses, “I no longer feel alone or isolated,” “it gives me<br />

a sense of belonging,” “it is a place to meet other students who I can relate to.”<br />

With an estimated 2.2 million veterans residing in California, the state leads the nation in<br />

the number of veterans. That number is expected to increase dramatically as more military<br />

personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan complete their service. In 2009, more than 26,600<br />

veterans utilized education benefits at a California community college.<br />

<strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> was selected by G.I. Jobs magazine as a<br />

Military-Friendly School for 2011. This honor places the college in<br />

the top 15% of all schools nationwide.<br />

Gift Giving Opportunities<br />

There are a variety of options to consider when making a gift:<br />

Gift Annuities<br />

A Charitable Gift Annuity is an extraordinary way to make an irrevocable<br />

deferred donation, increase your income, and slice your tax bill — all in<br />

one transaction. Our Charitable Gift Annuity program was created as a<br />

service to our many friends who have expressed a desire to make a gift<br />

of significance, while still retaining income from the gift property during<br />

their lives.<br />

If interested in this type of gift opportunity, please call Margie Bunten,<br />

GWC Director, Foundation and Community Relations, at 714/895-8315<br />

or e-mail her at mbunten@gwc.cccd.edu.<br />

“Education is the soul of civilization, freeing us from<br />

intellectual and emotional limitation.”<br />

~ Glenda Blackburn, 2007<br />

Former Executive Director, GWC Foundation<br />

Annual Fund<br />

Cash contributions to the Foundation’s annual fund are a critical source<br />

of private support for the college. Annual fund donations finance the<br />

scholarship program and other endeavors that strengthen the college.<br />

Memorial Gifts<br />

Gifts in memory of loved ones and friends — or gifts which honor living<br />

individuals — are gratefully accepted by the Foundation.<br />

Such contributions are often used to reflect the interests or talents of<br />

the person being honored. The Foundation is pleased to help potential<br />

donors explore appropriate uses for the memorial gifts.<br />

and friends have made a provision in their wills for the <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> Foundation as a beneficiary.<br />

“I researched many colleges on my quest to donate to a<br />

Nursing Scholarship. I chose the <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

Foundation because they were the only institution that did<br />

not charge a management fee.”<br />

Scholarships and<br />

Awards<br />

Since 1986, the <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation has<br />

processed over $4,000,000 for student scholarships.<br />

Each scholarship application involves a process of<br />

review by a scholarship committee who selects the<br />

recipients based upon individual scholarship criteria.<br />

At the Scholarships and Awards Ceremony held in<br />

May, over 200 scholarships were awarded to GWC<br />

students. The Scholarships & Awards Ceremony<br />

recognizes both the scholarship recipients and the<br />

donors who support them. The ceremony is held<br />

annually in the beautiful GWC Amphitheater.


I would like to take<br />

this opportunity to<br />

thank the Foundation<br />

Board of Directors<br />

for their time and<br />

resources and our<br />

donors and community<br />

members for their generous support. <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> has a profound impact on the lives of our<br />

students, and the Foundation strives to support<br />

the vital resources that empower our students<br />

to realize their potential as individuals and as<br />

professionals in our community.<br />

Thank you all for making student success a<br />

priority with your continuing support. I am<br />

privileged to work with such an enthusiastic,<br />

professional board and to represent <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> in the community.<br />

Director, Foundation and<br />

Community Relations<br />

The <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation<br />

does not charge a management or<br />

administrative fee for scholarships.<br />

The entire scholarship donation is<br />

given to the student.<br />
