Dale and Donna Whiteside
Dale and Donna Whiteside were longtime Butler supporters. For many years, they were a part of the Grizzly Host Family Program. Donna worked at Butler for nearly 4 decades and welcomed thousands of student-athletes to campus over her tenure. Dale retired from the Texaco refinery after 40 years. Their greatest joy in life was to spend time with their family and cheering on the Grizzlies. Dale passed away in 2010 and Donna in 2021. With support of their children and memorial gifts given in their honor, the Dale and Donna Whiteside Scholarship Endowment has been established.

“The love Mom and Dad had for Butler Community College was obvious to anyone who knew them! The Butler community dearly loved them both too. They would be so proud to have their legacy live on through this endowment!”
