Mary Lou, it was a pleasure to hear you speak at the "Hope of America" program Tuesday night, May 1. Wasn't that an awesome program!! I can't think of another person who deserves this recognition more than you. I am very grateful for all you both have done for education in this state and particularly UVSC (UVU). We have a high school senior who has attended the high school, Utah Academy of Sciences, there at UVSC since his junior year. Words can not express what a blessing that has been for our son who so strongly excels in academics. He is graduating with honors this month, and will receive his Associates Degree in August. We are so grateful he can finish his schooling at UVSC now that it will be a University. We have also applied for a scholarship through your foundation. We are hoping and praying that he is awarded one. That would be a blessing in deed for our family. Thanks again for your generous contributions to education! We need a world full of !
people like you!

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Fulton,
Thank you very much for your amazingly generous donation to UVSC! The need was great to turn UVSC into a university and you came to our rescue to make it happen. Your example of generosity and your encouragement to others to open their hearts and their pocketbooks has made an indelible mark on this institution and on the hearts of those who will cross its threshold of learning. Thanks to your financial contribution, the dreams of many students to pursue their educational goals will become a reality. This is an exciting time for all of us involved with UVSC! We look forward to a future of dreams fulfilled which in turn will make a positive impact on our community and state. Thank you for involving us in this effort and for making a difference in our lives.

An English author who lived in the 1800’s, Albert Pine, observed, “What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.” Your positive impact on us and our world will be felt for generations to come! Again, we thank your for your generosity.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Fulton
Thank you so much for your great gift to UVSC. My wife and I were there at the UVU bill signing and got to hear Ira speak. It was truly moving. My wife and I are both students here at UVSC, and have said to each other since being married that we hope to one day be in a place where we can make a contribution to UVU as you two have done. We are both thankful to the school for the education and experiences it has given us. Once again thank you for your generosity to our home.

Thank you for your Love & generously the two of you have shown to UVU. It takes people like yourselves to ignite the fire within individuals to give to a worthy cause like building Utah Valley University. It's been fun to put together programs of recognition for the Fulton challenge and the University Bill signing to help promote our school into the limelight nationally. Your love, kindness, and generous hearts are much appreciated by all here at UVU and the state of Utah. God bless both of you with continued health, strengthen, and energy to carry on.

My Dear Friends,
I too, wanted to say thanks for your generous contributions to making UVU what it is today. I have been a student for a year now, and I honestly can say, that I have never been to a better school in my life. When I first started, I recieved a gentle warm welcome from various people; and not only that, but I also recieved 2 to 3 letters from various departments, asking me how they could help make my education go well; and I tell you, I have never had a more memorable experience going through highschool. Thank-you for helping to keep the spirit of edjucation alive. Sincerely, Your friend,

Dear Fultons,
I must confess-I was skeptical when the Challenge was first announced. Then I thought we were all crazy for setting such lofty goals. . . I'm amazed at the difference in the attitude around campus. There is a sense of pride, not the haughty unbecoming pride of conceit, but the feeling of happiness and contentment that comes when you look back at the results of a difficult job well done. I'm still amazed! Thank you!

I am not surprised by the negative image that America has overseas because most of what is seen and heard are often unflattering and petty. I have lived in Japan now for almost three years due to my job responsibilities. Hearing about your contribution and ability to move people should be heard all over! This is the America I know and love, a country filled with many opportunities with many selfless individuals willing to support others in achieving success. I thank you for helping UVSC reach its potential. I loved it there and hope to assist their growth as much as I can.

Thank you so much. You have no idea what this does for me and my friends who attends this school. To our other friends that attend other schools, we are not credible, unintelligent and have a lower class education. With donations like this we have a lot more confidence that we are attending a school that can give us just as much of a credible education or more than what they are receiving. It also gives me alot more confidence that I can be able to support my loving wife and family. Thank you so much, I cannot describe what this has done and will begin to do.

Dear Ira & Mary Lou,
Thank you SO much for all of your contributions to Utah Valley (University)! I am an alum of this school and have since returned as an intern to the school. I have watched UVSC grow slowly over the past years to what it is today but since your wonderful pledge to our school, it has caught on fire! The realization of this school someday being a university is closer than I ever imagined and it is due to you and your wife's amazing contribution!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I pray that someday I will be able to do half the good that you have done for this school!

Thank you for sparking A Fire Within the student body at UVSC. I've attended other colleges in my years of pursing the elusive dream of a full degree where other challenges have been made and failed. Many of the students on this campus will benefit from your generosity. As a scholarship student I know I will. THANK YOU AGAIN.

Dear Ira & Mary Lou Fulton:
I just wanted to tell you how much of a difference you've made at Utah Valley State College and the giving atmosphere here.

Again, thank you for making things happen at this great institution.
