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<br />

$3,354,500 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 Chairman<br />

Bob Polentz<br />

The <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> Foundation again participated in the Scholarship and Awards Ceremony<br />

held in May by awarding scholarships to over 200 students. Since 1986, the Foundation has<br />

awarded over $3,000,000 to deserving students. This has been extremely gratifying to the<br />

Foundation as the awarding of scholarships is a direct contributor to our primary goal of<br />

student success at <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />

On Saturday March 20, 2009, the Foundation held its 12th annual major successful fundraiser,<br />

the “<strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Gala.” We are extremely happy to have raised a record $205,006,<br />

especially during some of the worst economic conditions in the last 75 years. This performance<br />

speaks volumes to the dedication and commitment of our Board Members and supporters. The proceeds will benefit <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> students and college programs. We particularly want to thank Elmore Toyota, Irvine Health Foundation, Toyota Motor Sales,<br />

U.S.A., Inc., and Union Bank of California as major sponsors and all the other underwriters who gave so generously to this event. We<br />

would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Gala Committee and its chair, Patricia Meredith, as well as the community at large for<br />

continuing to support this very important event for the college. We look forward to continued success at our 13th Gala scheduled for<br />

March 13, 2010.<br />

Our 18th Annual Courtyard of Honor Ceremony was celebrated last October. Four GWC alumni were honored as Alumni Pillar of<br />

Achievement recipients. Since the inception of this awards program in 1991, 83 alumni have been honored. We had five Pillars of<br />

Support (+$25,000) including The Axel Family Pillar, The William and Joanne Bumm Family Pillar, The Judy Elmore Pillar, the Dawn<br />

McKahan Pillar, and The Susan and Robert Polentz Pillar. The donor wall was increased by 86 donor names, with five in the <strong>Golden</strong><br />

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

As we look to 2010, we want to express our collective gratitude for the continued participation and leadership of the Foundation<br />

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

like to extend our sincere appreciation to the community at large that has continued to support the Foundation and the college with<br />

its generosity and support. Without this dedication, our work would not be possible. The Foundation’s objectives for 2010 include<br />

increasing the Board’s role in fostering student success, expanding Board membership, continuing a high level of participation from our<br />

members, initiating a new fund raising activity and sponsoring another successful Gala while continuing to seek fresh ideas for new<br />

fund raising opportunities and expansion of existing programs.<br />

This year began with a tremendous challenge from an investment perspective. Our asset allocation methodology has rewarded us with<br />

a significant improvement in our overall financial position and while we have not fully recovered the unrealized losses incurred in<br />

the last quarter of 2009, substantial improvement has been achieved and we remain reasonably confident that a full recovery will be<br />

achieved. HighMark Capital Management, our financial adviser, is doing a good job considering these challenging times.<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 the past year. As I look to the conclusion of my tenure<br />

as the Chairman of the Foundation Board, I would like to offer my personal thanks to all of those who have supported the Foundation<br />

during the last several years. It is not often that I have had the unique opportunity to work with such a dedicated group for such a<br />

worthy cause. I look forward to the upcoming year and my continued service on the Board, where we will work as a team towards the<br />

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

Robert Polentz, Chairman<br />

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

President, Wes Bryan<br />

At last year’s graduation ceremony I was talking with a recent scholarship<br />

recipient. Holding his diploma tightly in his hands and with tears in his eyes,<br />

he explained that for him this day was a miracle. He was the first child in his<br />

family to graduate from college, something nobody would have predicted.<br />

He was transferring to a top tier four year university. Another surprise, since<br />

when he started at <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong>, his self-expectations were modest and his<br />

goals were unclear. In fact, he thought he would only be able to finish his<br />

remedial courses before having to quit college altogether. <strong>College</strong> has a way<br />

of changing people – when they find their passions and we are able to connect students like him with resources.<br />

Financial Aid, scholarship supplements, and work study, as well as counseling, tutoring and caring instructors<br />

combined to make a difference in this young man’s life. The even better news is that his story is not that unusual. It is<br />

repeated over and over again as students walk across the stage at graduation.<br />

This annual report of the <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation explains the vital role our donors have in making these<br />

dreams come true. It illustrates how the combined efforts of individual donors, volunteers, business partners, and<br />

other community agencies can join together to support the college in its mission of providing affordable quality<br />

education and support services to students in need.<br />

When the state economy takes a dip, enrollments at community colleges soar. Predictably, in a time of fiscal crisis<br />

people realize that we are at the heart of workforce development, and that an educated populace has always been the<br />

strength of our economy. Quite often, when the state can’t adequately address our financial needs, the private donor<br />

steps up to the plate to help <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> provide students with scholarships and books, as well as classrooms<br />

with needed equipment and supplies.<br />

Living in an affluent area, we sometimes forget how important these efforts are in making a significant difference in<br />

the lives of our students. We know that students who earn a vocational degree or certificate will see their wages jump<br />

from $25,600 to $47,571 in just three years. We also know they are more likely to be involved in community service,<br />

live healthier lives, and have greater job satisfaction.<br />

I hope as you review this report you will consider involving yourself to a greater degree in the projects that our<br />

campus community sponsors. Without your support, the college could not begin to offer the scholarships and<br />

programs which provide our students with so many avenues to success.<br />

I am proud to be associated with a Foundation Board that understands the importance of educational opportunities,<br />

donates their time, and expends their energy to help students in need.<br />

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

4th of July Salutes the<br />

Centennial<br />

One hundred and five years ago, the residents<br />

of Huntington Beach held a 4th of July parade even before the city was incorporated!<br />

<strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> and the Boys and Girls Club of Huntington Valley participated<br />

in the centennial celebration with their float entry. Riders on the float were IIdefonso<br />

Flores- GWC Classified Employee of the Year, Lyvyane Tran-ASGWC Homecoming<br />

Queen, David Lopez-ASGWC President, Clarisa Malhiot-ASGWC Homecoming<br />

Queen. Also riding on the float from the Boys and Girls Club of Huntington Valley are<br />

Outstanding Club members who help staff make a difference to kids at the club through<br />

their commitment to volunteerism and willingness to help. On the float once again this<br />

year, the Jon Kubus Band played great patriotic music to the delight of the enthusiastic<br />

crowd of parade goers.<br />

Driving the G-Dub was Wes Bryan, GWC President and riding shotgun was Shirley<br />

Dettloff, Foundation President of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley.<br />

“My experience at the 4th of July event was<br />

magical. I was very honored to be given an<br />

opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful<br />

tradition that every American can share<br />

with one another, and I am especially<br />

honored because I was able to be on the<br />

float that represented my school. I had a<br />

wonderful time! Being in and at the parade<br />

I was able to sing and dance and share<br />

wonderful moments with everyone that<br />

came to the event. Seeing waving flags and<br />

our country’s colors – red, white, and blue<br />

– I believe on that day, everyone was able<br />

to connect and rejoice with one another. I<br />

know we were all proud to be Americans!”<br />

- Lyvyane Tran, ASGWC President<br />

Gala proceeds are put to<br />

good use<br />

The GWC Automotive Technology<br />

program prepares students for rewarding<br />

careers in maintaining, diagnosing<br />

and repairing of modern vehicles and<br />

light-duty trucks. State-of-the-art<br />

electronic test equipment and specialized<br />

hand tools are an integral part of this<br />

successful program. Everything was<br />

humming along nicely, until their<br />

Dual Laser Infrared Air Conditioning<br />

Temperature Tool went down — then<br />

things got hot!<br />

But Carleen Leatherman, auto<br />

technology faculty member, knew<br />

just what to do – put a Wish in to the<br />

Foundation for a new one! Their wish<br />

was granted and now everything is cool<br />

and the program is cruising along.<br />

The computer-controlled systems in the modern automobiles rely on technicians<br />

with a high level of proficiency in the use of electronic test equipment and specialized<br />

hand tools. <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> is certified by the National Institute for Automotive<br />

Service Excellence (ASE) thought evaluation by the National Automotive Technicians<br />

Education Foundation (NATEF). As a NATEF-certified training center, the Automotive<br />

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

Organized in April 1973, the <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Patrons membership is composed of<br />

alumni, community members and <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> staff and faculty. The Patrons<br />

is a volunteer organization which raises monies for student scholarships through their<br />

Chefs for Scholarships event held each fall. The members also volunteer hundreds of hours<br />

each year in support of other events such as Commencement Ceremony, Scholarships and<br />

Awards Ceremony, and Gala.<br />

Chefs For Scholarships<br />

The Patrons held their 4th annual Chefs for Scholarships event on September 20, 2009<br />

in the Student Center and Patio. Approximately 300 people attended this family-oriented<br />

event featuring musical entertainment, a bounce house for the kids, clowns, and the HB Fire<br />

Department. Guests sampled delicious food and beverages from local restaurants, wineries<br />

and breweries. The Patrons allocate $7,200 from the proceeds each year to support their 16<br />

annual student scholarships. They have been funding scholarships on campus since 1973<br />

and have donated over $100,000 to help students achieve their academic goals.<br />

Patrons President, Jo Andrews, presented the<br />

inaugural “<strong>Golden</strong> Chef Scholarship Award”<br />

to Ryan Chung, an alumnus of <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> and campus volunteer.<br />

Ryan is starting his Masters Program at the<br />

University of California, Irvine, with a goal<br />

of attending medical school.<br />

Hens & Chickens<br />

Quilt Auxiliary<br />

“Those who sleep under a quilt,<br />

sleep under a blanket of love”<br />

~Unknown<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 7 years old to 75.<br />

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

donate the funds to GWC scholarships as well as contributions to the campus for such projects<br />

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

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 the “Secret Quilt Code” and the Underground Railroad Quilt. According<br />

to the early 1900’s oral testimony of an elderly black quilt vendor from South Carolina,<br />

the late Ozella McDaniel Williams, a “secret quilt code” was in place during the era of the<br />

Underground Railroad. This code guided slaves by providing specific directives hidden in<br />

quilt block patterns. Each quilt block was meant to be a memory device and conveyed a<br />

certain course of action. The 2009 opportunity quilt is made of 1860’s reproduction fabric and<br />

contains the blocks mentioned in the secret quilt code.<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 one<br />

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

our many friends who have expressed a desire to make a gift of significance,<br />

while still retaining income from the gift property during their lives.<br />

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

Director, Foundation and Community Relations, at 714/895-8315 or e-mail her<br />

at mbunten@gwc.cccd.edu.<br />

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

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 of private<br />

support for the college. Annual fund donations finance the scholarship program<br />

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

Memorial Gifts<br />

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

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

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

being honored. The Foundation is pleased to help potential donors explore<br />

appropriate uses for the memorial gifts.<br />

Life Insurance Policies<br />

The <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation may be named a beneficiary. Donation of<br />

a life insurance policy to the Foundation entitles the donor to a tax deduction for<br />

the cash surrender value.<br />

Gifts-In-Kind (Non-Cash Donations)<br />

Donations of personal property, including vehicles, equipment and supplies,<br />

are gratefully accepted by the <strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation. Please inquire<br />

with the Foundation Office about specific items being considered as gifts to the<br />

college.<br />

Bequests<br />

A bequest designates a gift to the college in the donor’s will. Many alumni<br />

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

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 />

— Tom Swanson<br />

<strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation is a 501(c)(3).<br />

Contributions to the Foundation are tax deductible.<br />

Tax I.D.# 33-0073702<br />

Returning Combat Veterans Scholarship<br />

Receives $4500 Donation<br />

On Veteran’s Day, Dr. Lois Miller, Vice President of Instruction presented a $4,500 donation<br />

to Ron Lowenberg, Dean of GWC Criminal Justice, for the Returning Combat Veterans<br />

Scholarship Program.<br />

“My husband Mike and I wanted to help. Knowing the sacrifices our veterans make, and<br />

to honor the many veterans in both of our families, we wanted to donate enough money<br />

to completely sponsor a returning combat veteran in the next GWC Criminal Justice Basic<br />

Academy course.”<br />

If a combat veteran chooses to pursue a career in law enforcement, he or she can apply<br />

for a completely funded scholarship, once they return to civilian status. This scholarship<br />

provides financial support for equipment, uniforms and academy related costs. The cost to<br />

attend the GWC Police Academy is $4,368.<br />

This scholarship program was established in 2007 and has received donations from the<br />

<strong>Golden</strong> <strong>West</strong> <strong>College</strong> Foundation, SureFire Corporation, Newport Beach Exchange Club,<br />

the City of Huntington Beach, TRC Range Services, American Legion Huntington Beach<br />

Courtyard of Honor<br />

The 18th annual Courtyard of Honor Ceremony<br />

was held on October 28, 2009. Congratulations<br />

to four former GWC students who received the<br />

Alumni Pillar of Achievement recognition and five<br />

individuals who received a Pillar of Support. The<br />

Pillars of Support are those donors who have given<br />

over $25,000 to the college.<br />

Pillars of Support<br />

The first Pillars of Support were inducted at the<br />

inaugural Courtyard of Honor Ceremony in 1995.<br />

Since that time, GWC has honored 51 Pillars<br />

of Support with six of them inducted this past<br />

October. A Pillar represents $25,000 or more in cash<br />

donations by either individuals or businesses. These<br />

gifts represent over $1 million.<br />
