It didn’t take long for Penny Towndrow (BA ’83) to settle in at Brock.

When she began her studies at the University, her home for four years, she was welcomed with open arms.

Penny Towndrow (BA ’83).

Towndrow lived and worked on campus while pursuing her education, taking on many different jobs and spending time as a residence don.

Recognizing the value of the experience she received during her time at Brock, in addition to earning her degree, Towndrow is motivated to see the University continue to excel.

She’s eager to give back to her alma mater and to make a difference in the Brock community.

While working in the life insurance industry, Towndrow learned about the ability to make a philanthropic gift of life insurance — a form of giving few people are familiar with.

“Brock felt like home to me and I want to leave something as a thank you,” Towndrow says.

She’s able to fulfill that wish by making a monthly donation to Brock, in addition to a gift of life insurance she has committed through her estate.

Towndrow is proud to be an example of giving in this way, which will ensure her support is in place for years to come.

She has had many positive experiences with the University and wants future generations of students to have those same opportunities.
