Class of 1966 makes donation to the Bulldog Foundation - Rossford Record
After a recent class reunion, the Rossford High School Class of 1966 had some money left in its account. Class members then saw an article in the Rossford Record Journal for the Bulldog Foundation and came up with the idea of donating the leftover money to the Foundation. However, the class wanted to be able to reach the next donation level, so the class members pulled together and were able to get to the next level. As a result, the Class of ’66 was able to make a donation in the amount of nearly $4,000.
“We were extremely pleased when the Class of ’66 contacted us to make the donation”
said Doug Miller, president of the Board for the Foundation. He added, “They exemplify Bulldog pride and I think it serves as a great example, and perhaps creates a challenge, to some of the other classes and it will be interesting to see if they can meet or exceed what the Class of ’66 has done.”
By making the donation, the Class of ’66 will be recognized on the Bulldog Foundation website, at foundation events, and in publications. The Class of ’66 intends to continue its efforts to try to reach a higher donor level, perhaps eventually reaching the top level of a Founder.
The Bulldog Foundation is in the midst of a capital campaign to raise funds for a project to create a hallway of pride in the main entry hallway of the new high school to honor each of veterans, distinguished alumni, sports hall of fame inductees, and a rotating space for other organizations and current events. The fund-raising goal is $250,000.
Other donations have been received as follows: Ed and Linda Reiter, Founders; Anonymous, Founder; Joe and Mary Schaller, Supporter; Craig and Nancy La-Hote, Friend; Tom Minarcin, Friend, and Edward Bamberger, Friend.
Additional donors have committed as Founder level donors, but the Foundation is looking for the support of all loyal Bulldogs. The goal is to make the space into something memorable that will leave a positive impression on anyone visiting the school, from the youth of the community, families of those being honored, and any and all Bulldogs.
