Testimonials

The AnnieRuth Foundation has provided me with an amazing opportunity to be a part of the veterinary community. This opportunity has provided me with a base for my future in the veterinary world. Since veterinary school is so competitive to get into, having this experience on my resume will allow me to stand out. I am grateful to the AnnieRuth Foundation for providing me with this opportunity. I want to thank the employees of the AnnieRuth Foundation for all of the hard work they have done. I want to give a special thank you to Riverside Animal Hospital for welcoming me in and treating me like family!

Being an award recipient of the AnnieRuth Foundation’s Summer Internship Program has given me the upper hand when it comes to completing college assignments. I’ve been able to share the knowledge, skills and wisdom that I received during the internship with my colleagues at BCU and I’m already viewed as one who will excel in the competitive industry of Communications. The experience will also help me when I become an international motivational speaker. I am so very appreciative of the AnnieRuth Foundation for affording me this opportunity!

All in all, my medical rotation experience gained from the Annie Ruth foundation has been very rewarding and taught me lots of new knowledge and skills that I would take with me moving forward. The experience has helped cement my decision to go into the field of medicine and pursue a career as a physician.

I want to take a moment to thank (the AnnieRuth Foundation) for presenting two workshops at the Mayor’s Young Leaders Advisory Council’s College, Career and Trades Fair. I just finished going over the surveys, and the students gave both of your presentations – “Understanding What Employers Want” and “Resume Development” – ratings of “excellent.” If the Advisory Council decides to host this event again next year, and I believe they will, you will be on the top of their invite list. Again, thank you for spending your Saturday helping Jacksonville’s young people gain valuable knowledge that will help them start and grow in their careers.

The first word that comes to mind when I think of the AnnieRuth Foundation is empowerment. They believe that empowering individuals can empower a community. The foundation promotes education and helping individuals to be the best that they can be. Keep up the good work!!

My experience within the AnnieRuth Foundation is something I will never take for granted. I learned many things during the monthly Teams meetings, from business ethics to communication skills, along with the doctors I worked with during my summer internship. I cannot thank this organization enough for the things I was able to experience, and I will make sure all the information I gained during my time here will help me excel in my future. Thank you so much!

When I came to the workshop this morning, I didn’t know the topic. All I knew is that the AnnieRuth Foundation was hosting it so I knew I had to be here.

Without the AnnieRuth Foundation, I would have never truly seen a doctor’s life and work until I actually started working in that field. The Foundation has given me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I am glad that I didn’t miss.  The opportunity enabled me to see what my future career and all its ups and downs entails. Had I not participated in this internship opportunity, I may have never given other careers like cardiology or surgery a shot; but now, with this new information, I may.

My daughter and I volunteered with the AnnieRuth Foundation; we gave out healthy snacks and back-to-school backpacks. It was very rewarding giving to the children. The Annieruth Foundation is amazing. We are looking forward to helping out again very soon.

The Annie Ruth Foundation is a passionate organization, catering to addressing and helping to resolve issues surrounding youth, young adults, seniors, academics, poverty, and the social climate within the community. I have had the pleasure of working with its Founder, Ms. Dee Wilcox. Her commitment and dedication is contagious! She has just the right combination of humility, compassion and spunk to lead this organization to the next level. I am truly a fan and supporter of the AnnieRuth Foundation.
