Donor Impact Stories
“I am very honored and proud to be the recipient of the Russell L. Butler II Memorial Scholarship. Receiving this award has motivated me to go outside of my comfort zone and exceed my own expectations. This scholarship has given me the confidence to show everyone the determination and ingenuity I have through my knowledge and love for Landscape Architecture. After completion, I found Mr. Butler to be a true inspiration, not only for his work as a Landscape Architect but because of his generosity, respect for nature, and his love for friends and family.”
