Celebrating People who Go all In
AVERY'S INTERESTS KNEW NO BOUNDS, AND WE BELIEVE THAT MATTERS.
Avery knew you could be a person of faith and a scientist. He believed you could be a rabid sports fan and a devoted musician. He was well-rounded in his interests and we think that is important. Being inclusive was important to Avery and it is something we celebrate.
Avery Andersen Foundation is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) organization that celebrates those people who approach life with the same joy and enthusiasm Avery brought to his interests and the love he shared with everyone around him. We seek to encourage students to participate and learn from the arts and sciences by dedicating themselves fully to these activities and by being an inspiration and encouraging those around them to go “all in” with everything they do.
The foundation is led by an all-volunteer board. Nearly 100% of all donations are used to fund the scholarships and awards. A nominal fee is charged by our web hosting service for donations made by credit/debit card through the website. All other donations go directly to award recipients.
FRIEND IN METEOROLOGY AWARD WINNER!
Congratulations to this year's Friend in Meteorology award winner Adriane Stamers-Fuentes!
Adriane was selected by sophomore and junior ISU meteorology students as the graduating senior who displays an enthusiasm for meteorology while supporting their fellow students.
Adriane has an interest in broadcast meteorology and the National Weather Service. We look forward to seeing what she does in the future!
We would also like to thank Dave Flory and William Gallus of the ISU meteorology department who have helped us administer this award from day one. We are always impressed with the winners. An additional thank you to Avery's classmate and first Friend in Meteorology, Marissa Osterloh for sharing Avery's story at this year's ceremony.
