I Love Ģ����Ƶ is an annual fundraising campaign that supports student scholarships for Idaho residents and other programs at Ģ����Ƶ.  

“This campaign has deep roots in the community and it is successful because the donors and volunteers really care about helping students,” said Kallee Valentine, Ģ����Ƶ annual giving director. “Our goal is to donate more than $250,000 to scholarships this year. With everyone's help, I know we can do it.”
