As I write the President’s Message for this Connection, I am immensely thankful to each of you who supports Foundation-ONE with your gifts of time, talent and resources.

Being involved with FoundationONE has opened my eyes to seeing God work in people’s lives. Sometimes He quietly works behind the scenes and other times He works in bold and miraculous ways to reach UCA students. Two stories —“A Place to Heal” (p.4), and Sid Allison’s story (p. 20) – show how YOU, dear supporter, helped make miracles happen for some very talented teens . . . teens who are right now in the process of becoming world changers!

My favorite part of any UCA gathering is when someone says, “Let me tell you about . . .,” or “This just happened . . .,” or “Can I tell you a story?” What comes next is usually about someone whose life was changed because they spent time on the UCA campus.

Have you, your family, or friends benefited from being part of the UCA community? Just last month Fred (my husband, who I met at UCA) and I spent three days with some of our UCA friends. I can’t imagine life without those precious people that I grew with and bonded with when I was a student at Spangle 30 years ago! Yes, UCA is so much more than a school. It is a community. A friendship circle. A home.

That I why I’m involved with FoundationONE. Because Foun-dationONE yearns to give students the opportunity to be part of a school that will support them through their lives with

friendships and connections. The bottom line is: endow-ment growth means more scholarships for UCA students . . . and scholarships mean more kids get to participate in that life-enhancing experience that will bless their lives for the rest of their lives.

Please be part of this journey with us — you will be glad you did!

The last 15 months have not been easy, but Hannah and Rachel have found UCA to be, not only a great place to learn and grow, but also a great place to heal.

Hannah attended Fountainview Academy her sophomore year and intended to return. Her sister was on a waiting list to enroll there too. But the summer was passing quickly and the family decided they had better look for a Plan B. “At first Mom said UCA was not an option. We couldn’t afford it! But then we learned about FoundationONE and other student aid monies that we might be able to get. It seemed like one miracle after another, and here we are!”

Hannah especially appreciates UCA’s warm, supportive community. “After Dad died, I craved being with people who had also experienced deep pain. I was tired of people saying things like, ‘You’ll see your Dad again someday.’ I know it is true, but it doesn’t help me feel better today! At UCA, when I feel bad, people know what to do—they listen and hold me.”

Rachel says her dad spent a lot of time reading his Bible. “I think he read the entire Bible through in those few months that he was sick! He was even learning Hebrew so that he could understand it better. Dad truly walked with God; he was

Dad loved woodworking and I enjoyed helping him make beautiful country crafts for our home,” says Hannah, a junior at UCA.

Rachel’s favorite memories are working with her dad on cars for the pathfinder pinewood derby. “We always won 1st Place for our paint jobs. Our cars were really, really pretty,” she says with a smile.

Life in the Thornton home was good, but change was coming. Hannah and Rachel were home schooled through elemen-tary school. The summer after their 8th and 9th grade years (2018) their dad was diagnosed with Burkitt’s Lymphoma. He breezed through his treatments and ev-eryone was optimistic that he was going to have a full recovery, when suddenly he developed a strep infection that went septic.

Two days later the girls were called away from their schools to go to their father’s bedside and say their goodbyes. “The last thing I said to him was, ‘You were one of my best friends!’” says Hannah.

A PLACE TO HEAL

Dad truly walked with God; he was our spiritual leader. . .

Following Wayne Hoop-er’s death in 2007 his children established an endowed scholar-ship fund to benefit UCA students. The purpose of the Wayne Hooper Brass Scholarship is to glorify God and encour-age young brass players to develop their musical abilities to the highest degree possible. Over the years many people in the Pacific Northwest have joined the Hooper family in building the Fund, and to date the Fund has more than $185,000 in assets.

Approximately 60 UCA students have, to date, received the prestigious Wayne Hooper Brass Scholarship. One

recipient reflects, “This scholarship boosted my confidence and started me on a journey toward Music Education. I am now achieving goals I never would have thought I could. Thanks for the inspiration!”

The 2019-2020 Wayne Hooper Brass Scholar-

ships were presented at the Christmas at the Fox Concert on December 19th. Friends who wish to honor Wayne Hooper for his musical contributions to the Adventist Church may send a gift to the Wayne Hooper Brass Scholarship Fund, FoundationONE, PO Box 744, Post Falls, ID 83877.

Wayne Hooper spent his life singing, composing and arrang-ing Christian music. His masterpiece, “We Have This Hope,” is well known and loved by Adventists around the world.

our spiritual leader. . . and Hannah adds, “Pastor Fred (UCA’s Bible teacher) has similar views as dad. He has become our spiritual mentor and we feel God taking care of us through Pastor Fred.”

Both Hannah and Rachel have joined the new 431 Bible class (based is Acts 4:31). They want to be “shaken” and “filled with the Holy Spirit”, and they hope this class

will prepare them to be spiritual leaders. Hannah believes God is calling her to be a teacher or a counselor. Rachel thinks God may calling her to be a pastor.

Hannah and Rachel are extremely grate-ful to the people of FoundationONE who helped make it possible for them to be at UCA this year. “You are a part of our miracle. We can’t thank you enough!”

“Pastor Fred (UCA’s Bible teacher) has similar views as dad. He has become our spiritual mentor and we feel God taking care of us through Pastor Fred.”

“You are a part of our miracle. We can’t thank you enough!”

On the Friday evening of UCA’s Family Weekend (November 20) FoundationONE held its annual Awards Dinner where they presented their 2019-2020 FoundationONE grants.

“It is wonderful to be able to assist families,” says Mindy Weber, Founda-tionONE’s president. “With tuition and fees now exceeding $19,000 per year, the need for student aid is very great!

Every student is precious. We don’t want any student excluded from UCA’s life-changing education due to finan-cial hardship!”

Thankful & BlessedFoundationONE thanks its team of dedicated volunteers who made this evening of rejoicing in God’s blessings possible:

Yvonne Losey and team – decoratoring

Sheila Allilson and the UCA cafeteria crew – yummy Thanksgiving dinner

Tye Davis, Associate Pastor of the Coeur d’Alene Church – keynote address

Parents and students - cards of thanks to share with donors

There was excitement in the air on November 20, 2019 as family members of the Named Scholarships arrived on the UCA campus to present their awards.

Faye R. Kwapien Memorial Scholarship winners – Back row: Richard Scott, David Holloway-Cook. Front row (R to L) Cassan-dra Fleck, Yve Ellis Lahav, Micah Honner. The presenter was Faye’s daughter, Sandra (Llewellyn) Gifford, ’68. Accompanying her were her sisters: Valerie (Llewellyn) Bright, ’72, and Kim (Llewellyn) Osberg, ’74.

Standing Ovation at Awards Assembly

Every year since FoundationONE began its work of presenting scholarships, se-lecting the students has been difficult. This year the process was harder than ever! The Molstead Scholarship ap-plicants had such a strong vision and were so articulate that the Scholarship Committee got hung up. Finally, we shared the top two student essays with Dick and Anita Molstead. After reading the essays they exclaimed, “Both of these girls belong in our scholarship family!” Thus, instead of one freshman scholar, there are two! Fortunately, the Eric Molstead Scholarship Fund has had significant growth and was able to accommodate an extra disbursement.

All the presentations were stellar! As the last presenter took his seat, the UCA student body rose from their seats and gave a long and loud stand-ing ovation—a very fitting response for all the love and care that goes into creating and funding a Named Scholarship.

Following the ceremony the students and the Scholarship Agents enjoyed a luncheon in the Fireside Room. “Making a personal connection with students is the most rewarding aspect of funding a scholarship,” says Bev Roberts.

When you support a Named Schol-arship, your gift accomplishes two things: it reminds the family that their loved one is not forgotten; and it encourages and motivates a young person. For information about how to establish a Named Scholarship, con-tact Linda Klinger: 509-939-1716; [email protected].

Sheila Lynn Larson Scholarship winners – Samantha Young and Kathleen Meza Tucker. The presenter was Sheila’s hus-band, Allen Larson.

UCA World Changer

Please share with our readers a little bit about your family and your educational background.My parents had a strong appreciation for Adventist education. My dad used to work in academy maintenance depart-ments. But, when I was six years old, my dad had an accident that left him legally disabled. So, my mom has had to be-come the breadwinner for our family. She started a bakery, but it was several years before it began to turn a profit.

I attended Colville Junior Academy grades

1-4. Then I did some home schooling. And finally, I attended Grace Christian Acad-emy. My dream was always to come to UCA, but I thought it was not financially feasible. Also, by the time I was ready for high school, I was behind in certain subjects. It was too much for Mom to try to home school us kids and run a busi-ness too.

So, how did you end up coming to UCA for your junior and senior years? After attending Grace Christian Acad-emy, where I had no friends, I decided to

enroll in Running Start. Running Start is a program that allows 11th and 12th grade students to take college courses at Washington’s 34 community and tech-nical colleges. Students receive both high school and college credit for these classes, which accelerates their progress through the education system. I totally failed Running Start!

That summer I met Shelley Bacon (UCA’s recruiter) at camp meeting and I shared with her my dilemma. She said, “There is help! Let us pray for a miracle!” After we prayed I began filling out application forms for grants and scholarships. The pieces began to fall into place, and by fall, I was able to enroll as a junior at UCA.

Tell us about your experience at UCA.UCA was a wonderful place for me. I had been making sub-par grades. The faculty took the time to help me catch up with my studies and I began getting A’s and B’s. That was huge! I had been lonely—at Grace Christian Academy there was only one other person in my grade. Suddenly I found myself surrounded by friends—my teachers, my classmates, everyone was open to becoming friends! I got involved with the AV club, the gymnastic team, and yearbook. I also became a student week of prayer speaker and served as an RA in the dorm.

The UCA community was a happy, healthy place for me to grow and I’m forever indebted to my sponsors, including Foun-dationONE.

What did you do after you graduated?I worked at Walmart for three years. I worked in the deli; I stocked shelves; I supervised the overnight cleaning and stocking crews. I’ve done it all! Working at Walmart taught me a lot about myself. I learned that I like supervising people and that I have a gift for motivating people. But working for Walmart is not my life dream. It is only a stepping stone.

So, how is it that you happened to come back to UCA?About a year ago I began to feel restless. I was getting bored with the Walmart rou-tine, and I was thinking about my future. I wanted to continue my education, but I had not yet been able to save enough to get into college. What to do?

I decided to call my friend, Bob Lenz the IT Services Director who I had worked with at UCA. Bob told me that they had an opening for a Task Force Volunteer. I applied, and I got the position!

Now I am back at UCA supporting the mission of this wonderful school. I still don’t have a clear vision regarding my future, but some of the careers I dream about are: teaching history, photography, and videography. What I do know is that God will open doors for me to accomplish whatever it is he wants me to do. In the meantime, I’m going to keep on doing all the good I can, wherever I happen to be.

To hear Sidney tell his own story, go to https://foundationoneuca.org/student-stories/

Four years ago Sidney Allison was a student at UCA. This year he is serving his alma mater as an Information Tech-nology Systems (ITS) Taskforce Volunteer. We recently inter-viewed Sidney. Here is Sidney’s story:

You can give moreBy donating stock that has appreciated for more than a year, you are actually giv-ing 20 percent more than if you sold the stock and then made a cash donation. The reason: you avoid capital gains taxes.

You can give your portfolio a health checkIf a review of your investments’ gains and losses shows that it’s time to rebal-ance your portfolio to maximize its performance and optimize for risk, donating stock can give your portfolio the health check it needs. Implementing a donation strategy puts your capital gains to work funding your philanthropy. Talk to your advisor about which assets to put to better use.

You can donate stock without headachesSome people think it will require a lot of paperwork and phone calls. It doesn’t! All it takes is one phone call to FoundationONE to let us know you’d like to make a donation. You will need provide us with: 1) the name of the securities, 2) the ticker symbols, 3) the number of shares, 4) the name of your brokerage firm or bank, and 5) the approximate value. We will provide you and your broker with information regarding how to effect an electronics transfer.

Or, if you hold securities in certificate form, there are two simple steps. Because different assets take different amounts of time to be transferred, you should initiate the transaction early. Give our Planned Giving Specialist, Don Klinger, a call today! 208-288-1260.
