Fredina Ingold
A 1975 Penn State graduate and the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Penn State Altoona, Fredina Ingold demonstrated her commitment to the College and the program she administers with the creation of “The Fredina M. Ingold Intercollegiate Athletics Enhancement Endowment” at Penn State Altoona. The $25,000 gift also reflects her appreciation for all the friendships and treasured memories that are byproducts of a remarkable 27-year tenure at Ivyside Park.
The endowment, the first athletic enhancement fund established at Penn State Altoona, will provide discretionary funds that are crucial to moving Intercollegiate Athletics forward in new and innovative ways—ways that will enhance the extracurricular experience for student-athletes, satisfy the expectations of a cutting-edge coaching staff and provide attractive entertainment options for alumni and fans in the community.
“For me, creating the endowment was about giving back to something I truly believe in, knowing that I am making a difference, and helping to make dreams come true,” Ingold stated. “I also want to set an example for my daughter about what is really important in life: the act of giving.”
Ingold observed that her philosophy on philanthropy is guided by the principle that “when you die, you can’t take your money with you, but the good things you do with it go on forever. That’s basically how I feel about the endowment.”
