Our Donations

Words of Appreciation from RIAA, USA, Inc.

Thank you! We are extremely grateful to each and every one of you. Your works are enriching the lives of so many people - especially at a time when it matters the most.

As light gives life to a room, your sacrifices, talents, and commitments are giving hope, opportunity, and inspiration to many at Ricks Institute. Sadly, the results of what you do, too often are ignored or unvalued until one's demise. It is then that platitudes and flowers are showered upon the 'intended beneficiary' who can neither hear nor smell anything at that point. We view your works as living examples for the children of Ricks Institute.

With these facts, Ricks Institute Alumni Association, USA, Inc., an education-base 501 c3 exempt organization, proudly states that proceeds from all events will be used to strengthen our student scholarship program and increase our educational contribution to our alma mater.

We have become a primary funding source of our alma mater over the last twenty years. A challenge we cherish. It is because of guests, sponsors, and friends like you that we have been able to continuously contribute to Ricks' spirit of excellence.

As we look forward, may we all embrace the challenges of today together and resolve to appreciate the knowledge and share the joys of giving.
