SHS Scholarships Donations received thru December 2011


Springfield High School and then Springfield South High School
Springfield North High School

Moving the bar to more than $7,474.67

The tax-deductible contributions to the SHS Scholarships Program through December 2011 have brought our total to nearly $7,500 from over 50 different donors. We are making steady progress and that is quite important for those who have not yet become annual donors. Thanks go out to all of our past and present contributors who have helped us make our way along this journey.

Here is a very special pat on the back to my classmates from the SHS Class of 1957 for their contributions over the years. We are so very proud of them and really appreciate their help.

We hope that you, your classmates and your reunion group will continue sending us your generous donations each year. I really want to emphasize to you that ... no amount is too small.

We wish that we all have a very happy and prosperous 2011.

Donations to SHS Scholarships - 2011 tally

This letter will bring you up to date on donations to the SHS Scholarships Program. This program was started in 2008 by Jack Hutslar [SHS 1957] and a few other very important SHS grads.

The purpose of this letter is to ask you to begin making an annual donation today to the SHS Scholarships Program. And, we also ask you to gather two more classmates, friends and relatives who will join you in becoming annual donors.

2 get 2 who get 2 who get 2. That is our campaign strategy.

No donation is too small. It might be $19.57, the year I was graduated from SHS, or $195.70 or even $1.957.00

The donations we receive are sent to and kept by The Springfield Foundation. Eventually, they will help us sort through the scholarship applicants and make awards.

Our first goal is to reach $35,000 in donations. Then we can begin awarding scholarships to new SHS graduates. We now have over 50 separate donors who have contributed over $7,000. Each year we have surpassed the previous year in giving. We are making slow and steady progress.

Year by year growth.

2008 = $700.00 = $700.00

2009 = $2,128.00 = $2,828
2010 = $2,237.10 = $5,065.10
2011 = $2,409.57 = $7,474.67

Your annual contribution to the SHS Scholarships Program is greatly appreciated. Should you have questions, please feel free to call or email me at any time. Send me your email address and I will include you in our periodic e-blasts.

Go to our web site at www.SHSscholarships.com. Click on the “News” button to learn more and see who has been giving.

I am looking forward to seeing our classmates again at the June reunion in 2012.

Feel free to copy this and send it along to your classmates, friends and relatives. That would provide us with a big Wildcat boost.

A very big thanks and best wishes . . . jack at 800 767-4916
