Orman and Colleen Brooner are familiar friends to Graceland's SIFE program. They traveled with the team to Paris for the World Cup international competition in 2006, and to Dallas and Chicago for national competitions in 2007-08. The Brooners have given of themselves and their resources, including helping fund and construct the new Sandage Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship offices in the MSC. They give to SIFE because "…we believe in the students and the people who work with them." Orman, a 1953 GU graduate and member of the Board of Trustees, and Colleen also provided $15,000 to help send 13 students on the team's Winter Term project to Thailand to provide small business training in a women’s shelter. "We thought about going with the team ourselves," Orman said, "but this way another student or two can make the trip."
