Jim '59 & Bettye '59 Ballenger

As 1959 graduates, Jim and Bettye Ballenger have a long history of appreciation and love for Auburn. When Jim retired from a successful engineering career, they moved to Windermere, Fla. When it was time to review and update their estate plans to ensure their plan complied with Florida laws, they decided to include Auburn University.

Jim and Bettye named Auburn University Foundation as the beneficiary of several IRA plans. With wise investments and time, these future gifts will continue to grow and will support the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering and the Auburn University Libraries. The Ballengers' gifts will provide scholarships for graduate students and enable the college and libraries to serve more students through enhanced educational opportunities.
