Auvil's Generosity Lives On
An estate gift of more than $2.9 million from Wenatchee tree fruit leaders Grady and Lillie Auvil helps fund scholarships and research at Washington State University and Wenatchee Valley College.
At WSU, the Auvil family gift helps support the development and operations of a new research orchard and graduate education at the Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center in Wenatchee. The center is well situated to meet the immediate and future needs of Washington’s fruit industry while solving complex biological and ecological issues in agricultural production and environmental stewardship. The total gift to WSU tops $1.18 million.
An endowment was also created for the Auvils’ gift to Wenatchee Valley College to further the development and support of its agriculture programs, which include tree fruit production, tree fruit management, integrated pest management, sustainable organic fruit production, and the Hispanic Orchard Employee Education Program.
