Bill White's vision leads to an unprecedented gift to CALS
In 2008, Bill White, visionary co-founder of La Paz, LLC passed away. When Bill was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he began looking into the best way to plan for the future of LaPaz, a sturgeon and caviar production company in Caldwell County, NC. During his lifetime, his passion and efforts were focused on establishing a facility that would give our state's aquaculture producers the potential to be leaders in the production of one of the world's most favored delicacies.

Her love for Ed and for flowers blooms into a Horticulture Scholarship Endowment.
Rose Phillip's fingers work nimbly, almost magically transforming a simple piece of ribbon into a small yellow rose. This intricate task - the twisting and folding of something plain into something beautiful - is second nature to Rose. As is her generosity.

Fifty dollars and a tank full of gas.
This was the foundation on which Rachel Thomas built a new life as she ventured out from her family home at the ripe age of 21. She wanted a career, independence, and above all, to make a difference in the lives of others.
Rachel, who specialized in family welfare and 4-H, and her late husband, Frank Bancroft Thomas, a seafood scientist, served a combined total of 75 years in Cooperative Extension. In 2000, the couple established an endowment to fund the Frank Bancroft Thomas and Rachel Kirby Kinlaw Thomas Food Science and Family and Consumer Sciences Scholarship. They launched the endowment with a cash gift and included provisions in their wills to help further its purpose.
