One of the things my dad cared a lot about was farming and bees. We’ve found a way to help support a permanent faculty position at NC State. A “bee professor” if you will. My dad worked tirelessly in the last 2 years of his life to support an endowment that would permanently support this faculty position. Bees and their pollination are the foundation of agriculture and my dad fell in love with the science.
In memory of my father, please consider donating to the "North Carolina State Beekeeper's Association Faculty Award in support of Apiculture." Checks may be made payable to "The Endowment Fund of NCSU" and mailed to Campus Box 7645, NCSU, Raleigh, NC 27695. Please include "In memory of Donald Faulkner" on the memo line of the check. You can also make a gift online by visiting go.ncsu.edu/donfaulkner (http://go.ncsu.edu/donfaulkner)
A minimum gift of $200 to the Walk of Honor, or $250 to the Gallop of Honor, entitles you to an engraved brick (Walk of Honor) or horseshoe (Gallop of Honor) to be displayed on campus at the College of Veterinary Medicine. A gift of $500 to the Walk of Honor entitles you to an engraved paver.
