The Dr. Don Wyse Fund seeks to continue the legacy of its namesake: His fierce dedication to education, research, and community development, backed by an unceasing belief in the transformative power of learning.

This Give to the Max Day, the Forever Green and CFANS communities showed up to honor that legacy.

Donors gave more than $11,000 to the Dr. Don Wyse Fund during the annual day of charity — well above the initial goal of $6,000, the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics said. Even better, a generous donor was so moved that they are matching the final amount dollar-for-dollar.

Everyone here at Forever Green is both excited and touched to see the community come together around Don Wyse, and reassured knowing his impact on students can continue on for years to come.

You can continue to donate to the Dr. Don Wyse Fund here.
