Readers may recall a previous feature about Cynthia Perry Garland, who established an endowment through a planned gift to support enrichment experiences for students in the Gateway to College and Adult High School/High School Equivalency programs.
Garland, a 1994 alumna of Durham Tech, credits the examples of her parents and brother as her inspiration to give back. When she was 5 years old, Garland watched as her mother went back to get her high school diploma. Garland’s father drove his wife to and from school every day and ensured Garland and her brother, Andrew, had their needs met. A champion of lifelong learning, Garland named the endowment The Perry Family Memorial Endowment for Student Enrichment.
