Dear Civic Association Members:
I am writing so that you are aware of the Wakefield Scholarship Foundation. Since 1986, the Foundation has awarded 196 scholarships and committed or paid out over $966,669 in scholarship money to Wakefield students. In addition to outstanding achievement, many of these students have overcome challenging personal and family circumstances.
As a 1983 graduate of Wakefield, it is rewarding to see the achievement of these scholarship awardees. I have served on the Wakefield Scholarship Foundation for the past 14 years and because all of the work of the Foundation is done by volunteers, 100% of all donated funds go to our graduates.
Since Wakefield is our neighborhood High School, I am asking you to consider contributing to the foundation. I can assure you that the money will go to a deserving student and make a difference in their lives. You can contribute by sending a check payable to the Wakefield High School Education Foundation sent to: Wakefield Foundation, P.O. Box 41675, Arlington, VA 22204. Please note the name of your civic association on the memo line of the check. You can also contribute through the United Way Campaign number 8707 or the Combined Federal Campaign number 66600. If you have any questions, please email me at information@wakefieldalumni.org.
Great things are happening at Wakefield. President Obama's recent visit highlighted what an outstanding school Wakefield is. Thanks for considering a contribution which may make the difference in whether a deserving student is able to continue their education.
