Okanagan College’s ‘Our Students and Your Health Campaign’ has received a large donation from a retired Kelowna couple.
Jim Hodgson and Joy Bianco are donating $30,000 to Okanagan College’s Health Sciences Centre.
“Kelowna is a beautiful place. We’ve seen so many changes here for the positive, and it’s feels good to support the community,” Bianco said.
She was born in Kelowna but spent her formative years in Vancouver.
Bianco added education has always been central to her family. Her father originally taught at Rutland Senior Secondary (RSS). As a mathematician and a music lover, he formed the first school band at RSS before moving to Vancouver.
