“Your support has not only provided me with financial assistance but also given me the encouragement and motivation to continue striving for academic success … I am committed to making the most of this opportunity.”

Donor and Community Partnerships

$200,000+ in 2024

Donor collaborations and legacy gifts entrusted to us generate lasting support for the broader community or designated causes, like Ann Neupauer’s bequest. Her gift continues to perpetuate impact through healthcare programs including The Connection’s Pathways Women’s Cancer Support, SAGE Medical Day Center, Overlook Community Health, and the Center for Hope Hospice.

You care about Summit. We do too.
