Hedges add to $2M gift

When Bill and Robbie Hedges saw their 2005 donation of almost $2 million to UF’s College of Education drop in value during the recent recession, they feared the education research supported by their gift would suffer from the reduced funding.  As reported in the Sept. 30 edition of the Florida Alligator, the retired Gainesville couple recently added another $63,000 to their endowed research fund to restore its value to previous levels.
