WINTER 2023-2024 31 SHEILA COOK ENDOWED CHAIR OF EDUCATION Sheila Cook loved to teach, whether it was as a special education teacher in the classroom, a Sunday School teacher at Church, or as a Bible Study leader at Brother Bill’s Helping Hand. Given her legacy for teaching, an anonymous donor has stepped forward to provide a challenge gift of $500,000 in order to establish the Sheila Cook Endowed Chair of Education. In order for the Chair to be fully endowed, an additional $500,000 will need to be raised. Those interested in honoring the legacy of Sheila Cook by giving to the Sheila Cook Endowed Chair of Education can contact Ryan Hefton, DBU Vice President for Advancement, by email at ryanh@dbu.edu or by phone at 214-333-5168 if you have any other questions.
