UA Cossatot Foundation recently received a $2,500 donation from Dr. Randy Walker Family Practice & Allergy Clinic. The donation supports local scholarships for students attending UA Cossatot.

Angie Walker of Dr. Randy Walker Family Practice said, “There is nothing more important or powerful than community.  We need to be consistent and accountable in our lives, and it all starts with our connections in our community.  CCCUA is a huge force in our community, and we are lucky enough to be a part of what they do in Sevier County.”

The UA Cossatot Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit governed by a Board of Directors comprised of business and community leaders in Southwest Arkansas. The foremost objective of the foundation is to increase philanthropic support from individuals, alumni, businesses, organizations, and friends as a means to directly invest in the educational mission of UA Cossatot.

UA Cossatot Chancellor Dr. Steve Cole said, “ Over the years, our Foundation efforts have grown exponentially, and I feel there are three major reasons for this; we have joined forces and become part of the University of Arkansas System Foundation, we have a great local Foundation Board and leadership, and most importantly, we have people like Angie and Dr. Randy Walker who give so any student has a chance to get the education that will change their life. I envision a day where we totally eliminate the financial barriers our students face because of people making local donations to the Foundation”.
