An Education That Changed Everything
Ideal T. Saldi ’49 often said his time at Johnson College kept him out of the coal mines. It gave him the confidence to build a career he never imagined.
Years later, Ideal and his wife, Frances, helped fund Ideal Saldi Hall, our Gateway Building that welcomes students every day and shows how hands-on education transforms lives.
Why April 20 Matters
April 20 celebrates the Saldi legacy and gives our community a chance to support students directly. Gifts made on this day help:
- Remove financial barriers so students can focus on learning
- Provide hands-on tools and essential support
- Prepare students to enter the workforce confident and career-ready
Join the Saldi Day of Giving
Be part of a new Johnson College tradition. This Day of Giving brings our entire community together to support the next generation of students pursuing hands-on careers.
A suggested gift of $19.49 honors Ideal Saldi’s graduating class of 1949, but gifts of any amount help make a difference for Johnson College students.
Most importantly, your participation matters. Every gift shows our students that the Johnson College community believes in their future.
