As we approach the Holiday season, UNOH is geared up and ready to go for this year’s Fill the Tank Giving Drive. Our goal is to raise $50,000 by the end of year to help fund classroom training aids, offset student expenses, and provide additional opportunities to students, faculty, and staff.
The campaign is a team effort throughout the UNOH family.
Alumni like Kyle Kolke ‘13 encourage former classmates to join him and show their support. “Not coming from an automotive family, UNOH gave me the opportunity to succeed in the high performance automotive industry and experience the tools, equipment, and level of detail needed to succeed in this industry. Thank you for considering this campaign and allowing future students to thrive in their careers.”
Students like Sierra Hart ‘27 appreciate the support of UNOH alumni, family and friends. “As one of three children of a single mom from a small town, I thought college was out of reach, especially for a girl with a heart condition who dreamed of working in motorsports. Through hard work, saving up, and some financial aid, I’m paying for school on my own. Your support helps me keep up with my classmates while gearing up for a solid future.”
From the kick-off date of Friday, November 15th, through Friday, November 22nd, we have a special recognition opportunity. Anyone who makes a $100 gift during that time will have their name written on Racers Rock in the center of campus. We will even send you a picture of your name on the rock!
Here is the online link to make a gift and become a “One Gallon Guru” or “Full Throttle Fan”.
Gifts can also be mailed to:
