  • CLASS GIFT.

    - General.

        Many of us feel honored to have graduated from our “hallowed institution.”  We looked for ways to give back to HMHS and today’s youth.  We recall Miss Gist’s admonition: “If you’re the ‘cream of the crop’, I’d hate to see the ‘skimmed milk’.”  Nonetheless, we did survive, and now it is time to give back.  Baird Foster is to be commended for spear-heading this project and for researching and establishing the Class of 1956 Scholarship for Further Education in Music.  Not only did he accomplish that mission, but also he provided that information to the Haddonfield Alumni Association (HAS) so that other classes would not have to “reinvent the wheel” and could learn from our experience.

     
    - Background.

        Our 50th Reunion Class Gift to HMHS of $5,600 was made in October of 2006. Up to the March 2007 beginning of our "Matching  Gift Challenge", an additional $620 was donated to our Music Scholarship Fund. 

     
    - Matching Gift Challenge.

        All classmates were sent a mid-March 2007 letter that announced a "matching gift challenge" offer by a very generous classmate (who wishes to remain anonymous.) Any contribution you make to our Class of '56 Music Scholarship will be matched $ for $ by our supportive.

     
    - Results of "Matching Gift Challenge.

       Our terrific final "Challenge" contribution total is $9,632. We achieved 137% of our $7,000 "Challenge" Goal!  This is a wonderful response!

     
    - Thank You Classmates!

        Special thanks to Baird & Margo Foster for their tireless work with HMHS regarding the Scholarship award and other important coordination details. Also, thanks to all our classmates who contributed for the class gift.

     
    - Additional Contributions.

        Our Class Gift Fund will remain open for all those who want to give.
