Dear AoF Alumni,
We're thrilled to announce that our collective efforts have led to an astonishing achievement: we've raised over $500K for scholarships over the years. It's almost hard to fathom, but each and every one of you has played a crucial role in reaching this milestone. Looking back, it's incredible to see how far we've come since we first began supporting students. Back in 2015, I timidly asked for $5,000, and you all surpassed expectations. Year after year, your unwavering generosity has continued to astound me. From $6,000 to $20,000 during the pandemic, and then $30,000 last year, your support has never faltered. Your contributions, big or small, matter immensely. Let's make this year even better!
I'm particularly moved by a quote from one of our board members, who remarked, "I just really can’t believe that students from a public high school would be so generous; this is something I would expect from a private school like Albertus." This sentiment perfectly captures the incredible spirit of generosity and selflessness that defines our NRHS AOF Alumni Community. Just like last year, we are working on a video introducing you to the students you're supporting. Our seniors are currently working on a video to share their stories and aspirations with you. They're eager to connect with you and express their gratitude.
I cannot adequately express how deeply grateful I am for your continued support and the difference you make in the lives of our fellow NR students.
As always, we take immense pride in your professional and personal accomplishments, as well as your dedication to giving back to the Academy. I love hearing about the great news in your lives, so please keep those emails and social media posts coming. I hope you and your families are healthy and happy. Remember, if there's anything I can ever do for you, please don't hesitate to reach out.
You can donate via Venmo (-AcademyofFinance) or by mailing a check to NRHS AoF Inc. at 106 Hammond Rd. Thiells, NY 10984. Additionally, check with your HR departments to see if your company offers a matching gift program, as it could significantly impact our fundraising efforts. Please check with your HR departments to see if your company has a matching gift program as that could make a tremendous difference in how much we raise. We are a 503(c)! The annual awards night is May 30th so if you can have your contributions in by May 10th.
We're excited to share the video with you once it's ready. Thank you, as always, for your incredible support.
Warm regards,
Tim Ahle, Nick Teglas, and Stephanie Hickey
