Chuck and Nanci Cooper
Chuck and nanci cooper's story
When Chuck and Nanci met at Hillel’s Passover seder in the 70s, they had no idea that chance encounter would turn into a beautiful life spent together.
Chuck was studying in the College of Biological Sciences, and Nanci was an English major. They were married their junior year.
Please read this article below about Chuck and Nanci and their incredible gift of $500,000 to our Hillel in honor of the 50th wedding anniversary.
