Nolan says he hopes his donation inspires others to contribute as well.
“Our youth is our future. So now it’s a good time to make sure that the future is well taken care of. So hopefully this little contribution we did today will make a difference in someone’s life and hopefully they can make a difference in somebody else’s life,” Nolan said.
This is the second of seven universities to receive a donation from Nolan’s foundation.
