Vital-Link Foundation Makes Half-Million Gift to The Campaign For Ambrose
September 4, 2007 - On August 30th The Campaign for Ambrose University College received a $500,000 gift from the Calgary-based Vital-Link Foundation to help fund the construction of the new campus. Vital-Link is a private Christian foundation with a strong interest in supporting Christian higher education. The donation was made in memory of the late Mr. & Mrs. Archibald P. Newall whose estate resources were gifted to Vital-Link. Mr. Newell, who attended an Alliance Church, was an accomplished trumpet player with a passion for international missions.
Mr. John Traber, Vital-Link Board Member, and long-time friend of the College said, "I'm pleased that Vital-Link has been able to honor Mr. & Mrs. Archibald P. Newall with this gift to help construct a new campus for Ambrose University College. Decades ago he expressed the desire that the former CBC/CTS would eventually relocate to Calgary. I'm sure he would be pleased that the College is now located in Calgary and that his resources are being used to help build the new Ambrose campus and to train young men and women for service to Christ in the church and in society."
