Thanks to Our Supporters

Bailey Foundation
Ted and Virginia Bailey’s valued partnership with UALR includes financial support, community service initiatives, and leadership on numerous boards and committees. The Baileys served on UALR’s Board of Visitors and Foundation Fund Board and founded Friends of the Arts and the Society of Philanthropy. In addition to sponsoring the Faculty Excellence Award in Teaching, the Baileys also financed the new alumni center at UALR that is named for them. UALR is better able to support its mission thanks to the Baileys’ generosity.

Bank of America
The Bank of America Foundation focuses its resources on helping children and families succeed in life and helping neighborhoods flourish. Bank of America is a major contributor to the Donald W. Reynolds Center for Business and Economic Development at UALR, helping the University secure the needed matching funds from the Reynolds Foundation. Over the years, Bank of America has also supported the Trojan Foundation, the Trojan Education and Scholarship Fund, and the Friday Sturgis Leadership Program.

PepsiAmericas
UALR reached an agreement with PepsiAmericas last year to provide soft drinks and other beverages at UALR facilities in a seven-year contract that will provide the University over $2.2 million for athletics, student services, and scholarships. In addition to the exclusive rights bonus and commissions paid to student services and athletics, PepsiAmericas will provide scholarships for non-traditional students, help sponsor the Faculty Excellence Awards, establish an annual staff award, and provide funds each year for the Staff Senate Helping Hands Project.
