Donors and Difference-Makers

And the award goes to… the best of the best Tyees!

 

We are proud to honor these amazing Tyee Club members for their extraordinary contributions to Husky Athletics.

Our Dave and Ruth Cohn Alumni Merit Award, which honors a former letterwinner for outstanding service and support to the University, goes to Trish Bostrom. A Women’s Tennis standout who was inducted into the Husky Hall of Fame in 1987, Trish has served as co-chair of the UW’s Title IX Planning Committee, a member of the Tyee Board of Advisors and president of the UW Alumni Association.

Our Frank Orrico Award, given annually to a Tyee Club member who’s shown outstanding commitment and volunteerism to Husky Athletics, goes to Jim Rose. A football season ticket holder for almost four decades, Jim and his wife Margie have supported a scholarship endowment, the Campaign for the Student Athlete and the renovation of Husky Stadium. Jim’s volunteerism, generosity and leadership have made a lasting impact on countless student-athletes and Husky programs.
