Thank you Class of 1958!
The Class of 1958 raised over $12,000 for the Foundation in celebration of their 50th reunion. They challenge other classes to surpass their gift! Contact the Foundation if you would like to know more about planning a reunion gift to the Foundation.

Over 500 East residents, parents and friends of the Foundation gathered March 8, 2008 at Integrated Architecture for a casual evening of friends, food, and camaraderie at the first-ever HURRAH! party. Local restaurants donated fare from their menus and the well-known area band, Mid-Life Crisis, provided music for the evening. Held at the unique Integrated Architecture building, the event was a great success. Nearly $40,000 was raised to support Foundation programs and grants. Thanks to all the donors, sponsors, underwriters (see the Spring 2008 newsletter Donor Roll Call for complete listing) and committee members who helped orchestrate a memorable evening for all. Join us March 2009 for the second HURRAH!
