Donor Story - Mike & Susan Oliver
- giving back -
Mike and Susan Oliver keep the memory of a late friend alive through regular donations to the Fredericton Community Foundation.
“I heard about the good things the Fredericton Community Foundation does through my friends Jeff and Richard McGuigan,” Mike says. “Sadly, it was around the time of Jeff’s passing that we began donating.”
Each year, Mike and Susan organize a New Year’s Day pickup hockey tournament for friends and family. Initially, they collected donations in hockey helmets to purchase wings and beer for everyone after the games. Following Jeff McGuigan’s passing, the group opted to donate that money to the Fredericton Community Foundation in Jeff’s name.
“The contributions in the helmets have increased each year,” he says proudly.
Mike and Susan are two of many caring citizens who donate to the Foundation to support important causes. Anyone can donate to the organization through gifts of cash, donations in memory of a loved one, publicly traded securities, through life insurance, real estate or other property, or a bequest in a will.
Mike and Susan’s donations support the Jeff McGuigan Memorial Fund for Mental Health and the Sara Burns Forever Fund.
“My family is so pleased to donate to the Fredericton Community Foundation each year because the money stays so close to the community and you can target where you want your contributions to go.”
