The YumaCats are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our biggest champions and friend: Mr. Rob Ingold. Rob was an active, strong part of Yuma’s business community, beyond supportive of the University of Arizona, and a champion in supporting local scholarships to Yuma-area students hoping to attend the U of A. He served as a governing board member of the University of Arizona Alumni Association and did so much for our YumaCats chapter. Rob we will miss you, but your legacy will not be forgotten.
