Bryan Daniel has been a sports fan all his life. And a UFV employee for three decades. 

He combines the two by following the UFV Cascades athletic teams, and by supporting them financially through small, consistent payroll contributions. 

Each payday, Bryan makes five donations through payroll deductions: four athletics-related (one for each of the men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams) and one to support students in general through the Student Emergency Fund.  

Bryan, who has been a member of the UFV IT Services department since 1996, has been supporting the Cascades athletic teams since 2007. Over the years, those small regular donations have added up. Bryan has now given $4,400 to funds that support students at UFV.

He was surprised to hear that the amount was that high.

“It’s an easy way to do something that helps our student–athletes, and in the case of my donation to the Student Emergency Fund, other students as well,” Bryan notes. “I don’t even think about it. It just comes off my paycheque.”
