IMAGINE SCHOLARSHIP
PROJECT
​
We hope you are as excited as we are to create this legacy for the Class of ‘73. It was our privilege and pleasure to present an LHS Class of '73 check for $1000 during the Ledyard High School Awards Night on Tuesday June, 6, 2023.
​​​
UPDATE: May 31, 2024 - We met and exceeded our goal of $25,000 in one year of generous giving. On to new goals!
​
SILENT AUCTION
As part of our Reunion festivities, we had a Silent Auction to further support the scholarship fund. Several classmates donated items and hand made some gorgeous items.
After the 50th Reunion, more donations poured in from happy attendees and from those who couldn't make it.
​
SCHOLARSHIP STEERING CREW
John Dunham has organized a new crew dedicated to Scholarship fundraising.
​
John has been working diligently on this project and was able to bring along our Scholarship fund into a 501(3)(C) tax deductible status. In addition, he has created a dedicated website that now enables donors to process their donation directly through the website without having to go through Pay Pal or GoFundMe.
​
The new website can be found at
