Doyon Foundation thanks all of the sponsors, golfers, volunteers and others who
supported the
10th annual Morris

50+ sponsors, and raised a total of $44,000!
These funds will go to support our Morris Thompson Scholarship Fund, and will directly
impact the lives and future success of Alaska Native, higher education students
studying business management and leadership.

Classic, which will be held June 16 – 17, 2011 in Fairbanks, Alaska. Watch for more

Doyon Foundation has a new place to call home. Last fall, the Foundation relocated
from its previous location at the Doyon, Limited building at 1 Doyon Place, Suite
300, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701 to its new office in the Jimmy Huntington Building
at 714 4th Ave., Suite 302B, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701.
While the Foundation's mailing address changed, all other contact information, including
phone and e-mail, remains the same.
Doris Miller, the Foundation's executive director, said the move provides more room
for the Foundation staff and the students served by the Foundation. In the future,
she said the Foundation may offer computers, workspace or other resources to students
at its new and expanded location.
