One act of generosity can create opportunities for generations.

We're inspired by Clay Buttrey's recent gift to Columbia State and his commitment to helping students achieve their educational goals.

“Over the years, I've invested my money and done well. And it's allowed me to do this. I'm happy to give and I hope to continue to be able to do so.”

Thank you, Clay, for investing in students and strengthening our community. 💚 Read the full story: https://www.columbiastate.edu/news/details/2026/06/columbia-state-receives-impactful-donation.html
