No Donation Is Too Small

*
Give what you can

The SHS Scholarships program is now receiving donations. Our first goal is to raise $30,000 so that we can begin awarding scholarships. As of September, we have pledges for $5,000.00. The ultimate goal is to raise $1,000,000 over five years. This means that we are asking you to give, not once, but every year over the next five years.

In order to make this a perpetual scholarship program that works long after we are but memories, about five per cent of the principle will be used for scholarships each year. That allows the principle to grow.

How much should I give?

No donation is too small.

Give $5.00, $10.00 or $100.00. Give more if you can.

If you wish, you could give to commemorate your graduating class. For instance, the class members of 1957 could give $19.57, $195.70, $1,957.00 or even $19,570.00. Give what you can but remember, no donation is too small.

At this time there is no other official fundraising event. This is it. Look at our News blog for updates and to learn more.

Please note that all donations are to be sent directly to

Thanks for your contributions . . . Jack Hutslar, SHS Class of 1957

SHS Scholarships now accepting donations for 2008

.
This is our first official request for donations for the SHS Scholarships for 2008. We hope you will contribute and help us spread the word. As you know, North High School and South High School have combined into one high school. The new Springfield High School opened September 8, 2008. To honor this reunification, a task force was established by three SHS graduates to raise student scholarship money.

Our goal is quite simple. We wish to create a permanent endowment through the Springfield Foundation to provide scholarship assistance to recent graduates of Springfield High School now and far into the future. Our ultimate goal is to raise $1,000,000, but first we must first raise $30,000 before any scholarships can be awarded. Donations are tax deductible.

For those of you who have not previously received information about the SHS Scholarships, this will introduce you to a project that was started by three graduates of the SHS Class of 1957 - Jack Hutslar in Virginia plus Phil McClelland and Jack Reynard, both in Sprngfield. This is a true grassroots program. We need your assistance.

2008 Contribution - To make your 2008 contribution, print out the Donor form found at www.SHSschholarships.com. Tax deductible contributions are to be sent directly to the Springfield Foundation. At this time, there is no other recognized fundraising program.

First, please make your initial contribution for 2008 before the end of the year.

Second, please forward this information to other members of your class plus your friends, family and teachers. Please help us spread the word and help our SHS graduates.

Third, please make copies of the Donor form. Give them to your friends, family and faculty from SHS, North and South.

Fourth, Please make copies of the SHS Donor form and put a copy in the envelope when you pay your bills each month. See the Donor Form button on line.

Fifth, The SHS Logo – You noticed that there is an SHS Scholarship logo at www.SHSscholarships.com. This distinctive SHS logo can be added to any personal or business web site. Links can be set up to take viewers directly to www.SHSschholarships.com. Again, this is a genuine grassroots effort. Please help us make this happen.

Finally, we want to fully fund the SHS Scholarships in five years. Please give every year. For up to the minute News and Information, click on the News button here at http://www.SHSscholarships.com.

Thank you for taking time to read this. Call or email any of us if you wish to become more involved in turning this dream into a reality.

Sincerely yours,

Jack Hutslar
SHS Class of 1957
