Having highly trained teachers early in life proved critical to my success, and my hope is that my gift will allow Fresno State to continue to educate qualified teachers of the Deaf now and forever. This is my lasting legacy as well as that of my parents. ~Joe Slotnick

More on gifts of cash

Did you know that you can mail a check at the end of the year? We encourage you to send a check a week before December 31 to help ensure the Post Office applies a December postmark. While many philanthropic partners choose this approach for year-end giving, we recommend consulting your tax advisor to determine how your contribution may be treated for tax purposes. Thank you for your year-end gift!
