events Elyria Catholic’s “Night of Celebration Gala and Auction” was held on Saturday, April 27, 2013. The coliseum came to life as our guests enjoyed cocktails, a catered dinner, auction items, raffles and live entertainment by the band Outta Dodge. Perhaps the highlight of the night was the honoring of Mr. Earl Mahl and Mr. Ryan Gorney ’99 for their outstanding contributions to Elyria Catholic. Mr. Earl Mahl together with his late wife Helen, raised eight children: Thomas ‘61, Patricia ‘65, Kenneth ‘71, Gerald, Theodore ‘74, Timothy ‘74, Lawrence ‘78, and Pamela ’80. Mr. Mahl has been a bingo volunteer for more than 40 years and was instrumental in the building of the first concession stand at EC. In 2007, the Mahl children established the Earl and Helen Mahl Scholarship Fund in honor of their parents. Thanks to the generosity of the Mahl family, the scholarship now provides financial assistance to four students each year. Ryan Gorney has volunteered his time and expertise to Elyria Catholic since 2002, assuming the role of head of technology. Ryan dedicates over 200 unpaid hours of his time to the school annually. His accomplishments and ongoing contributions to his alma mater are endless. Ryan and his wife Kara have two daughters, Samantha and Katherine and a son Jon. The generosity of those in attendance was overwhelming, as we raised more than $65,000 for the school and an additional $22,000 for the renovation of our science labs. The labs now feature a whiteboard wall, new stools, new laptops, laptop stands, resurfaced work stations, new windows and blinds. Jim Herrick, Class of 1970, showed his extreme generosity through the bidding of his son Mike Herrick ’02, by making a $20,000 donation for the naming rights to the Elyria Catholic coliseum for the next five years. The coliseum now adorns a large banner to show our thanks and gratitude to Mr. Herrick and Liberty Ford. We also extend a huge “thank you” to our Elyria Catholic alumni, Mr. Nick Abraham ’60, Mr. Jim Herrick ’70, Mr. Jack Matia ’75 and their respective dealerships for their donation to the EC car raffle. The excitement mounted as the winning ticket for the 2013 car raffle was drawn at the event. The Spring Gala provides an excellent opportunity for our alumni, parents and friends to come back to the school and witness firsthand the great things happening at EC. Please plan to join us for the 2014 Spring Gala to be held on Saturday, April 12, 2014 as we honor Mr. Hal Minnich ‘53 and Mr. Ron Zidek ‘63 for their years of service to Elyria Catholic through the Dads’ Boosters organization.
Support for the Elyria Catholic Fund Each year, Elyria Catholic High School relies upon the generosity of our parents, alumni, and friends to support our mission in the form of a commitment to the Elyria Catholic Fund. Participation in the Elyria Catholic Fund is paramount in helping to keep EC’s tuition affordable for so many students and their families who aspire to the call to become people of excellence, compassion, and faith, while celebrating the traditions and community unique to Elyria Catholic High School. In addition to the increase in participation in the 2012-2013 Elyria Catholic Fund drive, our efforts were bolstered by leadership support from members of our President’s Leadership Council, who set the standard for strong participation and increased giving among donors.
