We know many of you have given generously to your college alma maters over the years. We are asking you now to join us in this effort to support the High School that helped all of us achieve our goals. We recognize that this is just a start of what we as an alumni base of over 40,000 people are capable of accomplishing. It is our hope that, as we spread the word, we can tap into this vast and powerful network. We believe this is the first step in having a good number of us re-engage and collectively commit to working together to help the students, and the school, make progress.
We are reaching out to each of you in the hopes that many of you will contribute money to continue this process. We have made considerable progress to date and now in our second year we are aiming to do even more. Our objective is to double the funds raised versus last year when we received nearly $50,000 of financial support. In the current school year we have targeted raising $100,000, which will allow us to impact many more students in a variety of ways. Fortunately, we are already well on our way having raised nearly $60,000 from our Hall of Fame members, fellow alumni, and a number of our key corporate supporters. Now the rest is up to us, the alumni of the school, to make a real difference at MVB.
While money alone won’t meet all the school's needs it is essential to provide the enriching programming the Alumni Alliance has introduced into the school. Your contribution can help bring MVB back to where it was when we all walked the halls: a thriving, vibrant, academically-challenging school—among the best in NYC.
The time is NOW, and we believe essential, that we begin this process together. Anything you can do WILL make a difference. We hope to hear from all of you, and we very much appreciate any capacity in which you might support our efforts.
