"It's about good stewardship to the school which made the difference in our lives."

Why you think others should give to TSF: It's about good stewardship to the school which made the difference in our lives. It's about giving back to the foundation which established so many "firsts". It is the right thing to do for the State of Missouri, as we donate to enhance and embrace Mizzou's mission. The statement is huge to perspective students who look at other schools and academia while considering Mizzou. This is the right place to be... One Mizzou.
