“Vonne Bingham: The Impact of Scholarships” was created for the Foundation’s annual George Rieveschl Recognition Dinner, a stewardship event honoring UC and UC Health donors. The video follows the journey of Bingham, a UC student whose life was changed by a scholarship.

CASE V annually recognizes excellence in the district, which includes member institutions from Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Pride of CASE V Awards showcase best practices in alumni relations, fundraising, advancement services, special events and outstanding communications.
